BYNG OF VIMY
URPRISE at the nature of the tip-
pointment, but not regarding
the fitness of the man to whom it has
come, resulted
inCanada a few days
ago when the cables from London
brought word of the appointment of
Viscount Byng of Vimy, former gov-
ernor-general of Canada, to the post
of commissioner of the London met-
ropolitan police and head of Scotland
Yard.
The surprise was not occasioned
by the thought that "Byng of Violet's"
training was not adapted to the posi-
tion as head of the world's most fam-
ous police force, but the fact that a
soldier, instead of a policeman, had
been chosen for the all-important of-
fice. This surprise, apparently found
echo in England, and a term was
brewed in a teacup by Labor mem-
bers of the Mother of Paeliereents.
because a policeman, trained in pol-
ice work throughout his 1ife, had not
been chosen.
Second 'thought — always: mare
sober—indicates, however, thea Bri-
Viscount Byng, former governor. -
general of Canada, and new head of
the London Metropolitan police force
and of Scotland Yards.
tish officialdom was on the right track
when it selected as chief executive of
the famous London force, and of the
internationally known and respected
Scotland Yard division, the former
commander of the Canadian Corps
during the Great War and a man
who, as representative of the Crown
in Canada established his name in
dominion history as a two-fisted
fighter with the courage of his cuu-
cictions, whether those convictions
were right or wrong.
The same talents which w011 Lord
Byng recognition on the field of bat-
tle, as a mitiitary leader, will un-
doubtedly prove of immense value in
his new position as leader of a semi -
military force, glorying in traditions
almost as far-reaching as 'chose of
some of the oldest of British Army
regiments. And his appointment is
by no means the first instance of a
distinguished soldier being placed in
authority as head of a Large police
force.
Canadians will find interest in Vis-
count Byng's new appointment, he
more than the two incidents of his
Canadian associations, first as leader
of the Canadian soldiers iiightleg ov-
erseas. and later as governor-general.
His retirement from the leadership
of the Canadian Corps to accept a
higher command, also marked a new
epoch in the chronicles of Canadian
arms, for his successor, Ginerel Sir
Arthur Currie, stone centre of the
recent libel suit at Cobonr,g was the
first Canadian to head a male_ Can-
:
adian military unit in combat, Via -
count Byng succeeded the lath Ge0-
eral Alderson as chief of the Cana-
dian Corps in April, 1916, and his
appointment was partly due to the
opinion in military circles that at
that time 'there was no Canadian offi-
cer of sufficient experience to take
command.
An incident of General Byng'e ca-
reer as leader of the Canadians. find::
a current echo in the province of
Ontario. When Byng was head of
the Canadian Corps, Major-General
Mercer was in command of the Third
1 Canadian Division Corps, and Bri-
gadier -General V. A. S. Williams,
now commissioner of the Ontario pro
vincial police, was in charge of the
Eighth Brigade of the division.
General Byng, Mercer and Wil-
liams were to have inspected the bri-
gade's frontage in Sanctuary Wood,
on the Ypres front, on June 21, 1916.
But some trifling incident at the last
minute kept the corps commander
from making the trip, with the re-
sult that Generals Mercer and Wil-
liams went up alone, Caught in the
barrage preceding the Wurtembur-
ger attack on the evening of June 2,
General Mercer was killed and Gen-
eral Williams was taken prisoner.
He was the only Canadian general
and one of the few British leaders
to be taken prisoner during the war,
Viscount Byng, the first ex -gover-
nor-general of a 'Teat dominion, and
first member of the House of Lords
to be called upon by the king to pre-
side at Scotland Yarcl, made hie great

November, 1917, as commander of
the Third British Army on the West-
ern front, he broke the tamed Hin-
denburg line to a depth of seversl
miles along the St. Quentin line, tak-
ing thousands of prisoners. At that
time he was Lieutenant -General the
Honorable Sir Julian Byng.
His present full title is General
The Right Honorable Viscount Byng
of Viniy, Sir Julian Hedworth Geo-

the British Army retired list as a
general, and also holds rank of col-
onel of the Third Hussars and hon-
orary colonel of the Fifth Battalion,

the title of nobility of a baron during
his tenure as governor-general of
Canada, and was created a viscount
when he relinquished that office.
Born on September 11, 1862, Can-
ada's future governor-general was
the seventh son of the second Earl
of Strafford. This younger son of
an ancient family, however, eclipsed
all his older brothers in distinguished
service and is now known thtougheut

postponed accepting a lucrative posi-

"I'd nurse you the remainder of my
life if it was necessary, he declared.

"Never was there a friend like your
I owe you everything. I wish I had
saved to show you the letter my sister
Genevieve wrote me when I told leer
that you had risked your own chances
and your health to help me get my
diploma. That Is her picture," and Ar-
den extended a photograph. "She is
smiling there, but she was crying when
she wrote about my noble, self-sacri-
ficing friend, for the letter was stain-
ed with tears, I shall not be back
home permanently until toward the
end of the year. Then you've got to
come and see the folks. They'll greet
you with open arms, I tell you!"
Arnold smiled and whimsically won-
dered if Arden included also the open
arms of the lovely girlish original of
the picture. Two hours later ho set
down and wrote a long letter to his
uncle. In it he told John Merelunont
that he would not report at the mills
for some months to come.
"I remember," a part of the letter
ran, "that you once told ire that the

The plant Arnold itnd selected for
his Initial training WWI lorated at a
distance in a section whore he was not
likely to be identified. He added to
his neat usual stock or clothing various
suits adapted to rough shop work and
he smiled to himself as he glanced
down at his white, smooth hands. A.

There was a transfer to the casting
room a week later and then to the
shipping department. All this was the
kind of education Arnold desired, to
know just how things were done, and
evenings he would recall the various
processes he had studied and figure
out estimates of weight, tensile power,
chemical attributes and waste and
cost.
One evening Arnold had taken a
stroll beyond the 1011115 of the town
and was returning along a lonely Mild
when he carne upon a stalled automo-
bile containing two ladies. He recog-
nized at once that they were in
trouble and went over to the machine
and suggested that he might be of
Some assistance. He soon restored the
auto to working condition and the el-
der, fearsome and timid, asked him 10
drive then into the town. When he
surrendered control of the wheel and
alighted, the spot light crossed itis
face. He fuucled that he caught the
echo of a sharp damnation on Ihtt part
of the young lady. Thin a passing ma-

W. If: Van Valkenburg, president
of the Regina Board of Trade, says
that his city and province are out
to capture industries. That is one
reason for bis visgt to Montreal and
the Eastern States. He figures
that the mineral resources of the
province should provide the basis
of a number of industries, as 42
per cent of the provincial area lies
within the pre-Catubrian shield.
Inauguration of the new New
York -Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, pas-
senger ship service recently repre-
sented the first entrance of a ves-
sel from New Yorlt into Yarmouth
harbor for the hast -20 years. Thie
was the S.S. Evangeline, of the
Eastern Steamship Line, carrying
150 passengers. She is of 5,0101
tons and her sailing connects with
the Dominion Atlantic Railway and
so enables tourists to reach Nova
Scotia sea and holiday resorts.
This summer will witness a greet
deal of activity on the part of the
grain companies as well as the
'Wheat Pool in the construction 01
elevators at country points in Al-
berta to take care of the larger
harvests which are expected. An-
other company which has lust an-
nounced its intention to enter on
a construction program is the Gil-
lespie Grain Company. According
to John Gillespie, president, tate
firm plans to erect six new eleva-
tors each with a capacity of 40,000
bushels.
Musicians under the leadership
of Flight Lieutenant John A.
Anvers, forming the band of the
Royal Air Force, Britain's young-
est military band, landed recently
at Quebec from Canadian Pacific
liner Montnairn, for a tour of Can-
ada from coast to coast, as did
the hand of the Coldstream Guards
last year. This aggregation was
formed in June, 1920, and since
then has fulfilled engagements 'all
over the British Isles. The band
trill play in all the principal cen-
tres, military centres and garrison
towns of Canada during their tour
here.
"First call for dinner!" "last
call for dinner!" The old mono-
tonous warning to the hungry tra-
yeller is a thing of the past on the
Trans -Canada Limited, C, P. R
trans -continental crack train from
Montreal to Vancouver. To -day a
nattily attired waiter in white coat
and apron with a smart black bow
tie walks through the cars ringing
"chimes" on a dulcimer, an appeal
at once more pleasant to the ear
and more likely to attract attention
than the former method. In time,
there is no doubt, the idea will be
adopted on all dining car trains of
the railway.
Advertised to maize the trip from
Montreal to London in nine days,

drigerated cargo space and are of
10,000 tons dead weight. The ser-
vice is between Montreal and Lon-
don, and there is 0 sailing from
