succeeded when RICKETTS, took Gen.
eral HooKER's place. an corps COM
mander. In 1868 he resigned from the
army because Of a disppsc over rank.
Besides the Fifth VC:gnteers, the
105th and the Fourth reg .nients In the
National Guard bore his name. Al
the close of the war DURYfE received
the brevet Of Major-G General.
In 1878 General DURYEE was ap-
pointed Police Commissioner, and in
January Of the following year he took
personal command of the police to
subdue the communistic rioters In
Tompkins Square, captured their ban
ners and drove the mob flying before
him. He served the city long as Po-
lice Commissioner and died In 1890.
When LINCOLN called for men
JOSEPH II. BRADLEY was a practising
lawyer. He was of Mayflower de-
scent and he Joined with the Huguenot
DURYEE In organizing the Fifth Vol
unteers. AS the regiment was formed
he was q Second Ii. tenant. He won
his promotion to Captain and on re-
turning to civil life transferred from
the law to the ministry. AS a clergy
man he had charges In Maryland,
New Jersey and New York, and after
his retirement he engaged in literary
work. He was 81 when he died.
Lawyer, soldier, preacher. writer.
DR.. BRADLEY's death recalls the stir
ring days Of New York that had
problems to solve as difficult as those
the city faces to-day; a nation whose
manhood triumphantly underwent the
supreme test of long and bitter war ;
an army that returned to civil life and
constructive labors with less friction
than the most optimistic dared to hope
for a people able to endure adversely
and prosperity. The fibre Of 1861 is
the fibre Of 1917; the men of to-day
are worthy of their predecessors IN
the drama Of American history.

The wisest course TO be pursued is to

FOOD BUYERS DISAPPOINTED
Small Towns Fail to Get q Share Of
the Army Supplies.

To THE EDITOR OF THE sUN-Sr: The
manner In which the sale OF the sur
plus army food has been conducted was
a great disappointment to thousands re-
siding in the small cities and villages
in this State.
Postmasters received the necessary
OF der blanks on August 16, and on
Monday. when orders were TO be sent,
people In this town fiocked to the once
with money and checks in order TO
avail themselves OF the opportunity.
and many orders were filled, the cases
OF goods being syndicated.
On Tuesday notice was given that
the money would be returned, word hav-
ing come TO the postmaster that the
amount OF food allotted to New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut had been
sold 70 the officials of the large cities.
The treatment OF the country people
by Secretary Baker is typically Demo-
cratic, and selling the food weeks be-
fore small towns could share is an out
rage. r. q. sAUNpERsoS.

Figures In the Great Past.

The Rev. DR.. JOSEPH II. BRADLEY.
who died last Tuesday at his home
in Flatbush, is said to have been
the last surviving officer of the Fifth
New York Volunteers, the first regi-
ment to be known as burgess Zou-
ayes. ABRAM DUgYEE, to whom the
organization owed its formation
found his name subject to the popular
process of Anglicizatlon many other
Continental patronymics have under
gone. The accented lost its accent
and the final became a, thus fitting
spelling to pronunciation, and the
original form OF the name is probably
unfamiliar to most New Workers, to
whom Duryea appears as the anthem
tic name.
General DURYEE was a New Yorker
by birth and education, a mahogany
merchant by vocation. a soldier by
avocatlon. His grandfather served in
the Revolution, and at one time was
q prisoner in the old sugar house on
Liberty street. His father and two
uncles were officers in the war OF
1912. At IS ABRAM DURYEE entered
the 1920 Regiment Of State militia
Five years later he Joined the Tween.
ty-seventh, now the Seventh, as q pri-
vate. In 1S49 he had risen to the
rank Of Colonel. Those were lively
days for the militia. Colonel DUR.
YEE's command took part in the Aston
Place riots, and In them he received
two wounds. Ins"the subsequent Do
lice, City Hall, Sixth Ward and dead
rabbit riots" in the words Of Apple
toms Cyclopedia Of American BIogra-
ply "he also participated with his
command" Thus summarily are those
stirring episodes of old New York
city dismissed.
In April, 1861, the call for men was
heard in New York. ABRAM DuKYET
was one Of the first to heed It. In
less than week the Fifth, which was
to be known TO fame as Duryee's Zou.

The Duryees held true to their French
extraction. The French had organ.

gerian tribe of Kabyles known as Zou,

The Zouaves wore a Moorish costume
they were veteran troops Of fine repu
tation, and DUBYEE took over theil
dress to distinguish his volunteers
Thus the baggy red breeches, the short
jacket, the fez, entered the American
army and became familiar to all the
United States.
There was time In those days fol
picturesque costumes, and the men in
side the Zouave suits added credit tC
the name they bore. The command
was engaged at Big Bethel, and aftel

Governors Pay for Engineers.

That some railroad engineers are
paid wages which equal the salaries
paid to the Governors of some States
a fact revealed by General Manager
ODoNNELL of the Pennsylvania, Is
interesting, but not necessarily i'm
portant. The Governors may be paid
too little. The engineers may be paid
too much. The comparison Of their
pay does not prove anything.
What Is important Is the fact that
every increase in pay brings an In
crease in the cost of living to every
body. The railroad men have recog,
nized this. They demand more pay
to meet higher living costs, but they
would rather have the living costs
reduced so their present pay would
be sufficient to cover their expenses
They have seen the folly Of piling up
wages to meet living costs which are
constantly rising. They know that II
each and every man Of them gets a
Governors salary, and living costs 60
up in proportion, all of them will be
as badly Off as they are now.
Raising pay will not bring the re.
lief the country must hrve. At best
II will leave things as they are, and
experience has shown us it is likely
to make them worse.

dence he could gather to facilitate a
