mier.
Then. pausing with o brief refer
ence to the fact that Gen. Joffre
mas just been In London on an Inn
portant mission, Premier Asquith
added:
There Is q complete agreement
between the Allies as to the ends
to be pursued In the Balkans. That
means that Serbia may be assured
that her independence is regarded
as an essential object by her larger
allies"
The prime minister answered
briefly the critics who asserted that
the Allies moved too tardily to tho
aid of the Serbs.
When the Allies are reproached
for being too late In helping Ser
bia. II must be remembered that to
the last moment we had reason to
believe that Greece would acknowl-
edge her treaty obligations and act
accordingly" he said.
The prime minister said the out.
look Oh all fronts was most encour-
aging. He noted that the Germans
have gained no ground on the Fran
co-Flanders front since April, and
elected applause when he stated
that General Nixons forces In
Mesopotamia are now within meas
urable distance from Bagdad.
"Great Britain's feet Is mistress
OF the seas" was another of the
prime ministers statements that was
roundly cheered. The German
fleet is locked IL the Baltic. It does
not dare to show its face In any
sea where It can be dealt with"
Practically every phase Of the war
was touched briefly by the premier.
His statement, promised by Lloyd
George last week. was anxiously
awaited by the British public and
1t was evident tina. ne designed It

government.
After lauding the work of the
British and Allies armies, the pre-
mier praised the transport depart
ment OF the kings forces.
"The transport department has
carried 100000 troops" he said,
land has transported 100000 sick
and wounded with a loss of life less
than one-tenth of one per cent. That
Is record the nation may we'll be
proud Of"
To many members the prime min
isters statement that 100000 Turk
ish troops were being held at the
Dardanelles by the Anglo-French at
tacks was disappointing. Informa-
ton to the newspapers was that not
less than half million Turkish
troops were concentrated on CALI
poll to meet the allied onslaught.
Whether Asquith meant to refer to
the entire body or only TO those

LILITH NOT A BIBLE NAME
Figures In Jewish Legends as a De-
stroyer Of infants-Also az
Adams First Wife.

Lilith Is not a Bible name, but q
Hebrew word, used to designate an
imaginary being referred 20 In the Bi.
BILE. but not by name. An authority
gives Lilith as the name OF the first
wife Of Adam, according TO rabbinical
tradition" and says: "She was made
OF the earth as was Adam himself, and
would not submit to be ruled over by
her husband. Seeing no possibility OF
an agreement between herself and
him, she fed away to the sea, where
she became the mother OF a race of
demons and as a punishment for re-
fusing 10 return to Adam, one hundred
OF her children were to die every day.
Lilith became noted In Jewish legend
as destroyer OF infants and for this
reason they adopted the custom OF
writing the names OF three protecting
angels on slips of paper or parchment,
and binding them upon the infant, TO
prevent the evil influence OF LilIth."
This refers TO an ancient custom and
we do not know that any trace OF 1t
survives. Another authority says that
the Hebrew name Lilith attaches to
the passage In Isaiah 34:14. which
says, The night monster shall settle
there and shall find her a place OF
rest" Popular superstition named
this imaginary night monster Lilith.
and the Jewish encyclopedia says.
The superstitions regarding her and
her nefarious doings were. with other
superstitions. disseminated more and
more among the mass OF the Jewish
people. She becomes a nocturnal de
mon. flying about In the form Of a
night owl. and stealing children. She
is permitted to XIII certain infants
and II n child smiles during the night
of the Sabbath or Of the new moon,
IL IL a sign that Lilith Ia playing with
it." The Jewish encyclopedia treats
as unworthy OF notice the idea that
Lilith was Adams first wife, but adds.
She Is clear instance of the persis-
tence Of popular superstitious beliefs"
The word undoubtedly Is Hebrew. but
as IL does not appear In the Bible fits
connection with the passage in Isaiah
about demon Of the night seems 70
be purely arbitrary.
