A POPULAR ADMIRAL. Admiral Sir John Kelly's ap-
pointment as First and Principal Alde-de-Camp to the King will be welcomed in the Navy. No naval officer is really popular until he is awarded a nickname, and the fact that Sir John has been "Joe" to his shipmates for more than thirty years speaks for itself.
