THE OLDEST REGIMENTS.
How Seniority of Britain's Organi-
cations Is Designated.

When a man joins the British Army his
reG!mental number is no index TO the dare
of his enlistment, but when an Infantry
battalion IS added to her Majesty's forces 1t
receives a district number which at once be
trays its juniurity or seniority, as the case
may be. Thus We know that the Dublin
Fusiliers, district No. l02 Tor One Hundred
and Second Foot, is considerably younger
than the Royal Highlanders, or Forty

Which regiment has the proud distinction
of being the First Foot? None other than
one of Old Scotland-the Royal Scots the
Oldest regiment in Britain. No. is the

known as the East Kent. Lancashire pos

Eighth and Twentieth Foot are al. Lane

Yorkshire with the Fourteenth. Fifteenth
and Nineteenth Foot.
Some very old battalions have been
mauied in this war. The Northumberland
Fusiliers. who are barely at half strength
now, are the Fifth Foot: the Inflated
Suffoiks are the old Twelfth; the depleted
Royal Irish the Eighteenth, and, finally,
there is that mere skeleton regiment. the

Paris July 1.-The replacement OF Cen

as chief OF the general staff, has caused a
great sensation, and the opposition papers
bitterly eensufe the policy Of the Govern-
meuI.
NJ. Waldeck-Rousseau. the Premier. was
arraisned in the Senate tonight by Joseph
Charles Irauck ChouvenaU RepubliCanD,
who introduced a resolution expressing re-
gret for the measures taken by the Cow

N. Waldeck- Rousseau replied in q vigorous
speech, which won a vote OF confidence in
the Cabinet by 154 to 81 In the course OF
his speech he vehemently indicated the
right OF the Minister OF War to make such
changes in the general stan as he deemed
necessary In the interest OF discipline. Amid
L.sftist applause he denounced the detesta-
bic coCEscls given the army" and especial
ly the facility with which these counsels are
followed The Government, he declared,
could not be reproached with creating In
stability of the general staf since 1t first
refused to accept General pelanne's res!g-
nation. Moreover. General JamoHts resig-
nation was OF no Importance as he had

The 10 Government" continued the Pre-
in-chief the young General Brugere who
has only ono defect in the eyes Of militar

In conclusion, ". Waldeck- Rousseau said:

TELEPHONE FACILITIES.
Their Advantages at Terminal sta
lions Being Rapidly Recognized.

Great benefits are obtained AT large ter
miEals where adequate telephone facilities
are provided. DELAYS In the placing OF ear
orders engine assignments. material urdcr-,
working directions and nUmber.esS other IN
portant matters which formerly resulted
when the telegraph was used. seldom occur
now since the advent OF the up-to-date tele-
phone system. The fault for the delays re-
ferred TO Is not necessarily always with tho
telegraph department, as seems 10 be the
general impression.
Messages often arc dictated TO q stem
oSrapher along with a bunch OF letters and
in due course Of time reach the hands OF 2
messenger. whose ultimate destination Is
the telegraph Office, tho messages finally
landing on the operators table where they
meet with delay again, the operator havin :
a moment before Cleared the Office for
which the same is destined. and the wire
Is now busy. All this time the sender Of
the message IL waiting for reply and
blames the telegraph for the long wait. How
much more satisfaction is there in the tele-
phone method
Several progressive railroads are recog-
MIXING the value of the telephone and are
eqUippins their terminals with modern ex-
changes, they in turn connected with long
distance service. and each terminal brought
in close touch with the general offices.
