Why He Was Popular The British Wireless report says: The death took place to-day at Liverpool of the Reverend Geoffrey Studdert Kennedy, popularly known as "Woodbine Willie.". During the war he acted as temporary Chaplain to the forces in France and he was given his famous nick- name by tommies to whom he on- deared himself by his genuine sym- pathy and understanding and his unfailing supply of cigarettes of the well-known woodbine brand.
He gained the military cross in 1917, and after the War the King made him one of his Honary Chaplains.
As padre he spoke to the soldier In a direct manly way, which made an instant and enduring appeal, and the helpful advice he gave to all who asked him made him popu. Iar with all ranks of the Army.
His post-war sermons, delivered Mausang.without the slightest fear or favour, were often slashing attacks on modern social life. They were studded with the forceful, pungent alang of the streets and the trenches. His war experiences had filled him with a bitter hatred of militarism and his sermons often had as their theme the need for

Tokyo, Yesterday.
The result of the South Manchu rian Railway Co.'s issue of a con- ¡Versionary: loan of Yen 85,000,000 Jon March 6 is announced as high- lyunsatisfactory. Public sub- (scription thus far registered bare- ply exceeds Yen 7,000,000. Accord- jingly, the balance of Yen 28,000,000 will be taken over by the bank- ing syndicate underwriting the de bentures of this Japanese railway enterprise in Manchuria.
Equaily unsatisfactory are the results reported to attend the issue by other companies, including the Tokyo Electric Co. of Yen 80,000,- 000 and, the Korean Development Bank of Yen 10,000,000.-
The bad results are, apparently, due to the Intereat offered
