day cut down a small passenger steam
er which plies between Venice and
Lido. a chain of sandy islands separat-

Adriatic. and fifty persons were
crowned. The sharp nose of the tor
pedo boat went through the stern OF
fhc steamer, which sank almost imme-
diately.
Although many Americans are VISIT
ing Venice at the present time II IS
not believed that any were aboard the
steamer. The victims included many
women and several children.
Fifteen persons who were on deck at
the time were saved by the crew OF the
torpedo boat. The others were caught
in the cabin and were carried down
with the wreck The Italian sailors
dived many times in an effort to rescue
those who sank with the steamer, but
without avail. Intense excitement pre-
walls here. not only because of the eX-
tent Of the disaster, but because the
names of the victims are not yet
known.

Plan for All DenOmina-
tiOns TO Aid Work.

The first concrete move by the Church
Peace Union. founded by Andrew Car
negie. was outlined yesterday by the
Rev. Frederick Lynch. secretary Of the
union.
Mr.. Lynch said the executive COM
mittee had decided 10 arrange with
forty or fifty thousand ministers Of all
denominations throughout the coun-
try to preach on the peace movement
on May II, the Sunday before Peace
Day. The ministers will be asked TO
advocate on that occasion the calling
Of a third general peace conference at
the Hague.
It has also been decided 70 arrange
for a world church peace conference In
a European city during the coming
summer. Mr.. Lynch said yesterday
that the committee had written 10 the
ministers of the Protestant churches
of Switzerland. inviting them to eX-
tend their conference Of the churches
of Europe 10 embrace a participation
of the Carnegie union. He said he be-
lieyed the Swiss ministers would ac-
cede to the request, but that in any
event the church peace leagues Of Eng
land and Germany would act with the
Carnegie union.
one of the most important plans un-
der consideration by the committee on
scope and purpose is the organization
Of all the clergymen in the principal
cities in the United States as units Of
q general system of committees 10 act
in concert with the union.
This would make the churches IN
each city. Mr. Lynch said, responsible

faIo plan will be used as a model for

Church. one Of the trustees, has sug-
cested that all the Sunday schools and
