The reason for this decision ! two fold: In the first place he knows the limitations of his voice; and secondly. he thinks that any speaker, facing a huge audlnce, loses all sense of Inti macy with his hearrs. Lloyd George has been imi eh worried about his voice for several years, or ever since he was attacked by throat and bronchial trouble. Ten years ago the premier was at his best when ad dressing a crowd of ten thousand In the open air. Now he prefers to apeak In the restricted space of the bouse of com mons. Robert Press, state bank examiner, of Indiana. Is now In charge of the affairs of the bank. Bad loans, slow cash reserve, lack of available quick assets for use ojo collateral on loans or for rediscount are some "reasons given by officers of th bank for its closing- tod?. MR.
