TICKET CHOPPER ASKS
REVENGE FOR FINGER
Nearly Bitten Off, He Says, by
Man He Fought

John Bender, a ticket chopper in the
uptown side of the Times Square sub
way station. appeared in night court
last night against Frank Warner, OF
269 East Thirty-eighth Street, whom
he accused of biting his middle finger
nearly off.
According to Bender, he and his
assailant had had an argument as to
whether or not Warner had dropped a
ticket into the box. This developed
into fight, which came to an end, the
ticket chopper said, when Warner got
his fingers into his mouth and pro-
ceeded to masticate them.
Magistrate McQuade held Warner in
$500 bail on the charge of assault. He
will be arraigned in Special Sessions

Washington. Nov. 1o.-A complete
summary Of the situation growing out
Of recent activities Of German sub
marines is being prepared at the STATE
Department for submission to Presl-
dent Wilson on his return TO WASH

inclined TO discuss the subject in It's

those Of the British passenger liner

their lives. Reports from Brltlsh
sources have said that both ships were
torpedoed without warning.
No Change in Policy
The American Embassy, at Berlin,
was instructed last week 70 ask the
German Foreign Office for its version
OF the sinking Of the Marina. The
embassy has not been heard from. Con
fdential advices received here to-day
from Berlin said the embassy mad

be thoroughly investigated as soon as
reports from submarines now cruising
had been received, but that the Ger

Aside from the specific cases about
which inquiry is being made, disquiet
has been caused here by the general
trend submarine warfare has taken re-
Gently. officials fear that the sub
marines are operating on such a scale
and under such conditions that II may
be impossible for them to avoid en-
dangering Americans illegally.

Oriental liner Arabia was attacked by
two German submarines IN the Modi-

GERMANS WARN GREECE
TO RETAIN HER GUNS
Will Regard Their Delivery to
Allies as Unfriendly

London, Nov. 10.-Germany has mott
fed the Greek government that the
handing over of Greek guns and rifles
to the Entente Allies would be con-
sidered an unfriendly act. according to
advices from Athens. The notifica-
tion was made yesterday by Count Won
Mirbach, the German Minister.
The continued hostility toward the
Allies in certain quarters of Greece
has created a great deal of resent
ment, the dispatches add. An official
Entente communication issued in
Athens to-day pointed out TO the
Greek government that no efficacious
measures have been taken to end the
agitation against the Entente.
The Entente note presented 70
Greece several days ago is reported
TO have been drastic in tone. Core
spondents express the belief that II
demanded the departure of all the
legations Of the Central Powers. The
Greek Premier. while admitting that
the subject of the note was very grave
and might bring trouble, refuses to
disclose its exact nature.
