snecIal 10 The Eyening Journal.

Special to The Evening Journal.
NEWARK, Dec. AT a special
meeting Of the Delaware College Ath-
letic Council last night to discuss the
football schedule for next year, II was
definitely decided 10 drop the Thanks
giving Day game with p. NJ. c. at
Chester from the 1921 schedule. II IS
possible that a game will be arranged
with p. NJ. G. TO be played here some
Saturday near the close Of The season.
Because Of the fact that the college
now closes the day before ThanksgiN-
ing until the following Monday most
OF the Students go TO th,ir hons Tor
Thanksgiving and consequently Few
attend the Chester game. The same
would be true should Thanksgiving
Day game be played on the home
grounds 80 II was decided to eliminate
that game entirely.
Il Was also decided 10 not have a
mid-season break in the schedule next
year as was the case this season;
Starting late IN September there VIII
be nine games the same as this year
but am on Saturday and ending on
Saturday before Thanksgiving. II
possible six OF the nine games Will be
played al home. The season VIII
probably open with a game against
penn in Philadelphia but this mas not
been definitely decided.
Coach Shipley and Manager Roemer
will g-t busy at once and II possible
close the schedule this week. HaNer-

however. he sustained a badly in

game for the remainder OF the season
with the execution OF part OF two per

did not feel justified in granting IL II

zlllan culture that it is worth while
to preserve whatever there is. So
the great Brazilian newspaper 50
Estado de Sac Paulo" instituted AN
inquiry regarding Sacy Perere, who
IS described as one Of the verv few
typical native products. Readers
were asked to submit whatever thew
knew or heard concerning this Bra
allan representative of the evil
one and the answers were collected
IN the book entitled 80 Sacy Perere"

publishes extracts from the testi-
mony, out OF which Sacy energies
as a fairly harmless, amiable
and humorous sort OF devil, who,
in spite OF his terrifying ap-
pcarance, does not really want to
hurt human beings. although he is
New-York tribune., 1920-06-27

given to practical jokes of rather
crude brand.
Sacy Perere is 100 per cent Amer
lean. He was here before Columbus
for he was invented by the aborigincs
of Brazil, the Tupi Indians. His
name is of Tupi origin, Caa Cy,
meaning Evil Eye, and perereg, the
jumping one. So Caa Cy Perereg,
Portuguesifed into Sary Perere,
means Jumping Evil Eye. TO his
above description should be added
that, according to witness of scien-
tillc accomplishments, his smell
comes, from sulphur hydrogen
(HsS).
His one leg has a story, told by
old negroes, who have it from their
slave ancestors. According to this
story. once upon a time the devil
decided to give banquet in his cave.
There was plenty Of everything and
more than plenty Of cachaca (sugar

cane brandy. The guests got SO
drunk they could hardly move, and
the ensuing confusion gave a chance
to Il gang of small DEVILS appren-
tlces to go Joy riding to the earth.
The devil became enraged and pur-
sued the youngsters, capturing them
all except one, whose leg, however,
he stashed off. That little devil was
the original Sacy, and his offspring
were born with one leg only. Now,
the Sacys are very clever and swift,
and they can easily put it over ON
the devil, though they are one
legged.
The Sacy and his gang appear
usually during tornadoes, when
they ride the wind. They alight on
the backs Of horses and tie knots in
their names. Sometimes q Sacy is
observed on the roof Of house.
He scares the ~passeys-oy or throws
dirt down the 6himnsy.

the Rhine was not In excess Of the
British demand for security on the
sea.
But in tho opening days Of the
conference the French openly op-
posed some Of the Presidents prin-
ciples and frankly sought the amend
ment Of others. AS a consequence
French claims Jared far less we'll
than British, and Lloyd George was
able to pocket nearly a million
square miles Of German territory
without American protest, while
France had to be contented with
gains minor by comparison and, az
in the case Of the Saar, further re-
stricted by plebiscite conditions.
Thus at the outset the French
were outgeneraled. They looked for
British support against the Presi-
dent, and they encountered the Brit
ish opposition wherever they collided
with the President. Still, the French
were compelled to face the truth
Anglo American assistance was
vital. So there was a gradual shift
in governmental policy. At the
same time that the mass Of the
French people became hostile to the
President, feeling his lack Of sym
pathy with their purposes, Clemen-
ceau and his associates bowed to
the Presidents power.
The reward for his tardy com
pliance was the recognition of the
French demand for security, recog-
milton contained in the treaty of
insurance pledging the United
States and Great Britain to de-
fend France if Germany should
attack again. Moreover, common
political necessities forcing Lloyd
George and Clemenceau into har-
raony over the question Of indemnity
ana reparatlon, their comolnesl eff
forts led to the surrender by the
President Of the ground taken by
American financial representatives
on this important question.
haly's Disappointment
By contrast, Italy did not at any
time surrender. She had a secret
treaty with Britain and France, as

were, like the treaty itself, obnoxious
to the President. On this treaty. she

would stop; We were getting off to
play.
"Of course, we had the landlord
to figure with. Once in while we
had to tell him to wait until the per
formance was over for his money.
In that case he generally came along
with US to make sure, and while he
! was there he might just as well sing
with Us before the performance.
Say, boss, said one Of the boys to
our manager once, why don't you
get landlord who can sing bass for
q change? We've had nothing but
tenors Of late.'"
Stolidly the actor-novelist pulled
away at his cigar as he concluded
the tale. It was in vain that I
searched his features for the trace
OF betraying smile. Frank Bacon
is quito as mysterious personality
OFF stage as on, and If you want to
know whether you are being
'kidded" when you are talking with
him you must consult your own sem
sibilities. His sharp profile bent in
scrutably over the haze Of cigar
smoke, he enjoyed q moments rev.

they've got me to make 'Lightnin''

foe Of Italy. Had he prevailed,
italian resentment at America
would have intensified. As it is, the
end may be that the blame will be
saddled upon President Wilson, and
his retirement remove the present
very bitter anti-American sentiment
in Italy. On the whole, the same
may be said Of most Of the smaller
European states, whose intense ma
tionallsm excited very bitter criti-
cism from the President and his
American associates.
Now, what Of the future So far
as the British are concerned, it may
be safely assumed that Lloyd George
will see in the decisions at Chicago
signs Of new time which will call
for new policy. Before election the
willy Welshman may have preserved
certain neutrality, but there is
every sign that he has been ready
for some months to go republican"
with the same enthusiasm that he
went democratic" less than two
! years ago, President Wilson's
League Of Nations WAS not thing
which Lloyd George accepted as q
matter of faith, but merely as
question Of policy. He saw in it a
means of placating the President
and thus enlisting him in other
directions. If there is another Pres-
dent, Lloyd George. who has changed
parties so often at home, will have
no difficulty in changing sides away
from home.

just when the scandalous idea of
going on the stage first occurred to
him, MIR. Bacon does not know. He
has sneaking suspicion that it was

was mentioned at home in the early
days, and young Bacon became at

not look upon the Angio-American
association with any selfish idea, but
regarded 1t as an instrument bound
to benefit both peoples equally and
to prove Of infinite value to the
world in general.
Only those who opposed the treaty,
and they were minority, looked
upon the Presidents later reverses
in America with anything but disap-
pointment, and even dismay. and it
may be recalled that again and
again, before the Senate's decision
became final, Lloyd George de-
nounced political events in America
in language which led to protest
from the majority in the Senate.
Tho French case was even more
unmistakab1e. Britain had achieved
her major purposes in Paris, and the
Treaty Of Versailles merely wit
messed her accession to the legal title
of what she desired But with
France all depended upon the appli-
cation of the treaty and upon the
valuation of the treaty of insur.
ance which guaranteed France
against German attack President
Wilson had forced France to make
many concessions, which were writ
ten into the treaty, and had thus be-
come absolute, but the recompens Sc
for these concessions was contingent
upon the Presidents success before
the Senate.
France, therefore, as practical
matter, looked upon tho Presidents
| fight as her own, and the ultimate
defeat Of the President brought real
dismay to the French. 1t was de-
feat for the portions Of the treaty
which were vital to them At one
blow it deprived them of both Amer
can aud British assurances Of aid if
Germany attacked again, and it left
the whole question Of the enforce
lnent Of the treaty up to France, 1t
was, then, a disaster Of almost un-
precedented extent. The defeat Of
Clemenceau for President was one
Of the consequences, and the unpopu-
larity of the French statesmen re-
sponsible for the treaty is another.

New British Policy

In my judgment, the events at
Chicago will lead almost inevitably
to total change Of British policy
with respect to the League Of Ma
tions. Elihu Root probably will find
himself on his present trip to Europe

ing the respect and attention which
greeted the President less than two
years ago. The purpose to empha-

rich man. He had all the money
he wanted to spend for anything,
but there was one thing he wanted.
All he wanted was strawberry lam.
He couldn't spend all his money on
strawberry jam, but still-all he
wanted was strawberry jam"
So said Frank Bacon, actor-au
thor of "Lightnin'," one of the
greatest successes in the history of
the American stage, which he has
just made into novel. Brushing
back the thick gray hair that is in
separately associated with both
Lightnin and with Frank Bacon,
he reflected moment and con-
tinued: II don't know but what I'm
like that miner. All my life l have
been dreaming of some day getting
on Broadway and making a strike.
have made my strike-and now
all want to do is to 90 right on
playing 'Lightnin'.' There is some
thing in the soul of an actor that
makes him crave the sight of full
audience above everything else-un-
less it be the applause Of that au-
dience. No, l don't think it's
true that am Ligntnin'. But l
kind Of enjoy being Lightnin' for a
while-on the stage. And now
they've made ME put him in novel,
and they tell me that I'm an
author"
"Lightnin'," conceived by Mr..
Bacon, interpreted by him on the
stage, and now put into book form,
is the tale Of "Lightnin'" Bill
Jones, so called because he was as
slow as lightning is fast; of his
hotel-mostly for divorcees-on the
border between California and Ne
vada; and Of how clever East
erner almost, but not quite, sue
ceedcd in swindling the hotel from,
Bill Jones's family. In the book,
published by the Harpers, Mr..
Bacon develops the romance of Bill
Jones's daughter and Of his young
pal, Jim Marvin.
Still Bake" in San jose
If Frank Bacon does not take too
seriously this business Of being an
author, now that 'Lightnin' has
been published as a novel, perhaps it
IS because he has not taken ANYTHING
| too seriously in his picturesque
career. The Frank Bacon of to-day,
