LONDON, March 29.-Austin HOY.
whose mother and sister were among
the Americans who perished on the
Laconia. foreswore his allegiance to
the United States today and joined
the British army. He became a
member OF an officers training corp
with the rank of a cadet and is
practically assured of a commission
later in the heavy artillery branch
of the service for which his engi-
neering experience as an employe of
2 western American machinery con-
cern especially fits him.
Hoy cabled President Wilson soon
after it had been established that
the Laconia sank from the unwarned
attack Of a German submarine de-
manding that the United States
avenge such a deed and declaring he
would be the first American to en-
list against those who had caused
the death Of his loved ones. Other
wise he said he would join the Brit
ish army. So far as known Presi-
dent Wilson made no answer to the
cablegram. In an interview with the
United Press given shortly after the
death of his mother, and sister had
been confirmed, Hoy said his aged
father-an American physician, who
was a civil war veteran-was too old
to assume the family duty Of aveng-
ing the death of the mother and
sister and that he regarded It as
his own duty. Hoy Immediately rs-
signed his position as London rep
resentative of an American concern.
