PAUL BANNER SAYS
 ARABIA WAS NOT WARNED
Statement Issued by the Only Ameri-
 can Aboard the Steamer.

London, Nov. 1s. 11.4o p. m.-Paul R. Danner, the only American on board the British steamer Arabia, which was sund by a submarine Mo- vember in the Mediterranean, sends The Associated Press the following signed statement from Malta:
 T am an American citizen and was a second class passenger on the Ara bla, bound for Marseilles. At 11.20 on the morning of the sixth of Novem Der I was sitting on the port side of the, after deck when a tremendous shock to the ship occurred, immedi- ately followed by an explosion.
 There was absolutely no warning whatever, not even one second. It appears from the statements of cer- tain passengers who were on the sta1 board side that immediately they saw the periscope of a submarine ap- pear out of the water about 300 yards distant on the starboard side of the torpero was fired.
 it was only thanks to the good for tune of a calm sea and that the boat was fioated evenly for a considerable time that we were all saved There wtLs certainly no warning of any char acter."
