CANADA'S GOVERNOR GENERAL

The appointment of the duke of
Devonshire as governor general of
Canada in succession to the duke of
Connaught has given a good deal of
qualification In official circles in the
Dominion.
Known as one of the richest peers
in England, the duke of Devonshire is
an intimate friend of King George,
while the duchess, who was Lady Eve
lyn Emily Fitzmaurice, daughter Of
the fifth marquis of Landsdowne, Is
also said to be Queen Mary's closest
friend. She received the appointment
of mistress of the robes in 1910, while
the duke, during 1908, was treasurer
Of his majesty's household.
The duke, who Is the ninth duke
Of Devonshire, is in his forty-ninth
year and succeeded his uncle, the
eighth duke, in 1908. He was educated
at Elton and Cambridge university and
during 1S91-0S, was member of parlia-

securing public improvements has been upheld in
