 PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 21--A force of 400 marines embarked from here today on the U. S. $. Pennsylvania for duty in Panama.
 The decision to augment American forces already in the canal zone was reached so suddenly that officers at the navy yard here were not ordered to prepare supplies for the marines until yesterday, when rush orders were received by telephone from the navy department in Washington.
 The Pennsylvania was used for transportation of the force in order to expedite it's arrival in Central America. That vessel was en route from New York to Pacific waters and was ordered by wireless yesterday to the contingent.
 The Pennsylvania was stopped at the Delaware breakwater and the marine companies, which arrived at the Philadelphia navy yard shortly before noqp today were taken directly from their trains to the warship.
 It Is expected she will sail shortly after midnight tonight.
 Large quantities of supplies had preceded them. Navy. yard forces worked until late last night loading lighters with equipment for a pro- longed stay away from the base.
 The marines were sent here from their base at Quantico, Va. and al indicating the speed with which thu force was got together. officers pointed out that no company had its original complement of men. recruits having been drafted indiscriminately
 Every effort was made to keep ths destination of the force a secret ant navy yard officials declared not ever officers commanding knew the exac duty they were to perform upon ar | rival in the canal zone.
 1 Rumors that second ccntingen might arrive later in the week coul not be confirmed.

SECRET SESSION .0F PARLIAMENT | T0 CONVENE IN IRELAND TO-DAY
IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased wIrel

lRepubiican A. P. Leased Wtre1
 DUBLIN. Aug. 1.-The members of the Dail Eireann cabinet met in session todas for the purpose of mak- ing final arrangements for tomor- rows secret session of the parlia- ment.
 Harry J. Roland, representative of Eamonn de Valera in the United States, was one of the callers on Mir. de Valera at the Mansion House this afternoon.
 Ireland has passed through a week of decided contrasts on feeling on the peace negotiations and still is un- certain as to where the peace dis cussions are leading. This period which has witnessed the historic ini- tial open meetings of the Dail Fire ann has supplied alternately express sions of optimism and intervals of something closely akin to hopeless ness. Tonight the situation in the peace negotiations remains, on the surface. apparently just about where it was.
 Mir. de Valera has announced that the terms offered by the British gov ernment are unsatisfactory and Pre- mier Lloyd George has declared that the British government can go no further to meet the demands or the Republicans.
 Close observers of the situation pointed out today that the Sim Fein- CTS now seldom use the term 'repub- licans" to describe themselves, while the Irish Bulletin, their organ. in Saturdays issue. confined itself to arguing that the British terms did not constitute complete dominion status and that therefore they were not acceptable.
 The Freeman's Journal. which is sympathetic with the Sim Fein. bui under the new ownership of Martin | Fitzgerald represents large bushes. | interests in Dublin, thus far has re. l trained from commenting upon ths terms. devoting itself to reiteratint | its request that Mir Lloyd Georg, let the public know whether he ac. cepts the description of the British | offer furnished by General Shuts il his letter to MT. de Valera. The Irish Times. the Unionists' or gan, is pleading with the Sim Feii
 to accept the British government
 offer. or at least submit it to
 plebiscite, while the leaders of tn dominion league. such as Sir Horac
 Plunkett and the clericals, have re
 mained silent.
 The attitude of Ulster is bein
 closely watched. it being believed fl many quarters here that by conced
 ing something Ulster could do muc
 toward the bringing about of .
 agreement. The northerners. how
 ever. appear to have grown eve
 stiffer in their attitude since readin the reports of the Dali Eireann min isters on economic questions and tn
 speeches of the cabinet and member Fl of the parliament.
