GENERAL BYNG TO BE " GOVERNOR GENERAL. London, June 3.--The appointment of Lord Byng of Vimy as governor- general of Canada, in succession to the Duke of Devonshire, was officially: announced today. The name of General Byng will ever be associated in Canadian his- 'tory with the great battle of Vimy Ridge, when for the first time the Canadian corps fought as a unit, owing much of its success to his leadership. After that victory he was * promoted to command of the Third Army, and was succeeded in the command o fthe Canadian corps by General Sir Arthur Currie, : E. W. Wice prognosticates-- Mr E.
