I TO FIGHT FOR U.S. AGAINST OWN KIN Naturalized Austrian Eager to Capture His Father and Two Brothers Sayre, Pa.—"l am glad I can go to war," said Lduis K. Hoagiand, an employe of the Lehigh shops here, who has enlisted in the United States navy aero corps. "It may be I shall meet my father and brothers fighting with the central powers. Should I, It would be one of the pleasures of my life, to take them captive "over there,' turn them over to my super ior officer and keep on fighting." Hoagiand has sought for some time to enlist, but not until row has his ambition been jjratitled. Born of a German mother and an Austro- Hu'ngarian father, he came to this codntry in 1907 to seek the oppor tunities it offered. The demand for sturdy men was not so great as now, nnci besides he was handicapped by inability to speak English. Ono day in New York he determined to see something of this great country.

A railroad policeman took him from a freight train in the adjoining \ il lage of Waverly, and he was ar raigned before Justice of the Peace Charles A. Hoagiand. The tres passer told his story in broken Eng lish, and Justice Hoagiand was keen enough to discover that he was deal ing with something different than the ordinary ease. The prisoner declared he wanted to renounce his allegiance to his native country nnd become a citizen of the United States. The justice asked the prisoner if he would iike to live In Waverly and vicinity, and the defendant he would like to live anywhere in this WM.
