u. S. Unlikely to Call
New National Guard
But Men From the Organization
Will Be Taken By Regular
Draft

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Thc policy
Of the War Department with respect to
the new National Guard units organ
lied since the President drafted the old
guard into the Federal service will be
to refrain from calling them into ser
vice, even after they have attained the
state Of preparedness required by de-
partmental regulations and have been
recognized by the Militia Bureau
This was disclosed to-day in a state
ment issued by Secretary Baker through
the Militia Bureau. The new units,
however. will be subject to draft at any
time in the discretion of the President.
In that connection it was said to-day
by Provost Marshal General Crowder
that members of the new guard units
of draft age will be eligible to call un-
der the selective service law until the
units to which they are attached shall
have been drafted into the Federal SER
vice by proclamation of the Pres dcnt
under the national defence act.

Kracke Was a Fusion
Mentor, He 1'estifes
Commissioner Tells Swami
Mitchell Finances Were Never
Discussed With Him

Public Service Commissioner Fred
erick j. II. Krackc, of Brooklyn. testi-
tied yesterday in District Attorney
SWann's investigation of the Mitchell
Fusion campaign fund that he was one
of the mentors Of the Fusion campaign
and was frequently consulted by Mayor
Mitchell, Controller Prendergast, Will
lam Hamlin Childs, Darwin r. James
and others. Mr. Kracke said he was
not member Of any of the campaign
committees. because he was Commits
sloner of Plants and Structure at the
time, having been appointed in 1914 by
Mayor Mitchell. Jacob A. Livingston,
Brooklyn's Republican leader, was also
present at the conferences. MIR. Kracke
said
The witness said finances were never
discussed in his presence. He said he
knew nothing about the selection by
Mr. Childs of William II. Boardman,
deputy Controller. to take the Fusion
check over to Brooklyn on the eve of
the primary. The financial matters in
brooklyn, Mr.. Kracke said, were in the
hands of Jacob c. klinck, of the Will
lamsburg Trust Company, but he denied
that he selected Mr.. Klinck for that
post. Likewise, Nh. Kracke denied that
ne consulted with or advised George w.
Perkins on finances. He said that he
might have suggested the name of Ed
win p. Maynard, of the Brooklyn Trust
Company, as a member of the Commit
tee of $50

Preferred War to New York
Lieut.. Breeze, Killed in Battle,
"Disliked City"

William Lawrence Breeze, an Ameri-
can, who as a lieutenant of the Royal
Horse Guards in the British army, was
killed in France in 1915, preferred the
hazard Of death on a foreign battle
front to life in New York.
William Beverly Rogers, boyhood
friend of Lieutenant Breeze, in his
testimony as wl,ness in the trial of
q Supreme Court action quoted him as
saying that he would never again live
in New York. "He disliked New York"
said Mr.. Rogers. The proceeding in
which Mr.. Rogers was asked to testify
was brought by Hamilton Fish and
Cecil Matthew Higgins, trustees of
fund created by Lieutenant Breeze in
1914 for the benefit of his wife. who is
a daughter of the late Mrs. Fish. The
trustees wanted to ascertain whether
Lieutenant Breeze was a legal resident
of New York at the time of his death,
which information was needed by the
trustees in having their accounts ap
proved by the court. The father of
the lieutenant died when he was boy.
and his mother married Henry Vincent
Higgins, a London barrister. Breeze
was reared and educated in England.
