SUBMARINES
AGAIN ACTIVE
NEAR CAPE M
Vessels of the Allies Victims Of
Assault by these Undersea
Craft in New Base of Opera.
tiOnS .-..

Paris Nov. 6.-The straits of Glib.
raltar have again been passed by Ger
man submarines, which on Thursday
sank one Italian aha two French
steamships. The crew of one vessel is
missing.
The following statement was made
by the ministry of marine Saturday:
The enemy's submarines, coming
from the Atlantic. passed through the
Straits of Gibraltar on the night of
Nov. ,. They sank on Nov. the
French ship Dahra, off, Arzeu, Algeria,
and the French ship Calvados and the
Italian ship Ionic. near Cape wi.
The crews of the Dahra and Ionic
were saved. There is no news from
the crew Of the Calvados.'
A dispatch from Algiers says the
steamship Sid Ferruch was sunk Fri
day 40 miles off that port by a Ger
man submarine The crew of 2s men
arrived Saturday at Algiers. The Sid
Ferruch carried no passengers.
News of the presence Of German sub
marines in the Mediterranean bears
out information treceived from a pri-
waite source recently. to the effect that
Germany had decided to send most Of
her submarines to the Mediterranean.
having virtually abandoned her cam
paign in british waters in consequence
of the engagements she had TO enter
into with the United States.
This disclosure is said TO have been
made in the form of an announcement
by the German minister at Bucharest,
Rumania.
In England. however the suggestion
has been advanced that Germany
abandonment of her submarine cam
paign in English waters was due TO
the effective measures adopted by the
British and the large number of Ger
man submarines reported to have been
destroyed.
In September a number Of merchant
men and transports were sunk in the
Mediterranean by submarines, but re-
Gently little has been heard of their
activity.

new iOFk. Nov. t.-Ihe convention OF
the Episcopal diocese of New York.
meeting in synod hall next Wednesday.
is TO have before it a clergy pension plan
that is said te be the first and largest
Of its kind in any American religious
body.
Gift Plan Dropped
AS a rule churches endeavor TO raise
big sums for pensions by gift. The
Episcopal church tried that plan but
dropped il for the one now to be pre-
scented to New York. Some of the best
actuaries in the country have assisted
in drawing up this Episcopal plan.
Affected 10y the arrangement in New
York and its suburbs are 75s Episcopal
clergymen, or more than one-eighth of
the 5sos in the entire church. The plan
simply is that parishes pay, in addition
TO the salary Of their rectors, ! per cent.
of that salary into an authorized church
pension fund.
An account is kept by the fund with
every individual clergyman. No matter
where lie may so. how long he may
stay, whatever sums are paid in by con-
gregations of which he was rector go to
him or his family in the event of death
or disa bility. and at 6s years of age he
will receive the total. The plan is simply
deferred salary carried By the church
as whole.
In New York diocese. not counting
the suburbs in New Nersey and in
Long Island. which are III other do
ceses. there are 4S1 Episcopal clergy
men TO be affected by the action of the
New York convention.
The combined. salaries Of all Episco-
pal clergy in the United States Is
SO, GOO, 600. If the pension plan is OPP
erative in behalf of all Of them $500
600 a year would go into the pension
fund. The salaries Of New York clergy
on the average are far above the
$1,000. which is the average for the
country. Episcopal congregations or
New York and vicinity will he called
upon to pay each Year if this plan
goes through approximately sl50,00o
more than they now pay for salaries
of their clergymen.
In order to get the plan started and
to pay pensions to clergy who viii
reach the age OF 6S. or who may die
within the next few years. nest egg
of $4,000, 000 is proposed.
An effort TO raise this sum. begun ~
years ago and now abandoned. brought
in $500. oe0 This sum had been turned
into the fund and if New York and 9TH
err dioceses adopt the pension plan as a
whole campaign is 10 start at once to
obtain the s5.0oo co. That sum raised.
the pension plan will thereafter go on
automatically. and II is declared cannot
fail on its financial side.
All principal Protestant bodies in
America have these pensions plans on
hand. and the sums they unitediy asked
for reach an even s5oo0o,oo Actuaries
say that ar additional sl5,ooo,eeo will be
REQUIRED There are in all 10000 minis
tiers to be cared for. Methodists lead in
amount of money asked for. Most OF
these bodies are seeking TO raise these
large sums by gift, and SO far only the
Episcopal authorities have taken up the
deferred salary plan.
Bishop Lawrence OF Massachusetts is at
the head of the Episcopal pension plan
and J. Pierpont Morgan is its treasurer
