SINN FEINERS WORKING OUT PEACEJEPLY Republican Parliament Holds Secret Session While Populace Awaits Definite Reply to British Overture.

ULSTER STANDS FIRM (By Associated Press DUBLIN, Aug. 22. Secret sessions of the Irish Republican parliament to draft the Sinn Fein reply to Great Britain's peace proposals began hers today. The public meetings last week and subsequent conferences between Eamon de Valera and his colleagues were believed to have laid the ground for an early reply. The presence of Harry J. Boland. who represented Mr. De Valera in the United States after the Sinn Fein chieftan had returned to Ireland, was considered as important, as it was believed he would submit to the parliament a report outlining the state of public opinion on the other side of thn Atlantic. , It has been understood since the Initial meeting of the parliament that a decision might be delayed until Mr. Boland reached this city, and his arrival yesterday was looked upon as significant. Expect Opposition. There have been indications that a certain amount of dissention existed in the rank and file of the parliament over the attitude to be taken toward the British offer of dominion status for Ireland, and it appeared probable today that many members would Fpeak on the question before final decision was reached. Press comments by Dublin newupapers would seem to reflect a desire on the part of the Sinn Fein not to reject the British offer, but rather tu obtain from Prime Minister Lloyd George a statement giving details ot the government's offer. Objections have been made that Ireland, because of her geographical position would not be given the same sort of dominion government that in enjoyed by Canada or Australia, and it has been held that the prime minister I would define bis exact position la this respect. Urge Acceptance. Organs of the unionists have been urging aceptanc of the government's proposals, or at least the submission of a plebsicite in southern Ireland. The attitude of Ulster up to today j had apparently been unrelenting, so far art making common cause with the Sinn Fein in attempting to reach a settlement with Great Britain was concerned. It seemed the decision of Sir James Craig to stand aloof during negotiations between Dublin and London had not been reconsidered. The week-end passed quietly in thi city, but it was marred in Belfast by the explosion of a bomb. The result of today's secret meeting was awaited with palpable anxiety, not unmixed, it appeared, with- con siderable hope of favorable develop ments. Hardly anyone expected a de cision today, but it was surmised that some indication of the dail's final ae tlon might be derived from the first day's session. BELFAST. Ireland. Aug. 22. Re ports that have been in circulation here to the effect that overtures had been made, to Ulster either by the Sinn Fein or on behalf of it were emphatically contradicted today by Col. Spender, secretary of the Ulster cabinet. Sir James Craig, the premier, returned to Belfast this morning from a holiday outing in Scotland. A meeting of the cabinet will be held tomorrow.

New Head of Federal Secret Service

William J. Burns, famous international detective, who has been appointed by Attorney General Daugherty to be director of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice, has been a sleuth all his life. The great detective and the attorney general are old friends. They were boys together in Columbus, Ohio. Mr. Daugherty regards Detective Burns as many others do as one of the foremost detectives of the world. The selection of Burns to head the department of justice bureau of investigation is believed to be but a preliminary step in the move toward the consolidation ot all of the federal government's detective forces, with the exception of the. intelligence departments of the army and navy, 'and there is little doubt that Mr. Burns will head the merger. .. ..-.-.

PUPILS MUST LEARN LESSON OF SERVICE IF SCHOOLS ARE TO SUCCEED, SAYS EDUCATOR

"Unless the schools of this land in-! spire pupils to unselfish achievement, we have not the kind of teaching we need," declared Ellis U. Graff, superintendent of the Indianapolis schools, in an address on "The Essential Qualities of a Teacher," delivered before the opening session of the teachers' institute at the Chautauqua Monday morning. Preceding Prof. Graff, Zenos E. Scott, superintendent of the Louis ville. Ky., public schools, spoke on "Some High Spots in Project Teaching." Prof. Scott's message summed up the need of standardizing teaching to match the mental powers of the student rather than providing a method logically presented but older than the student's power of comprehension.. Five Qualities Necessary "In my 25 years of public school work I have selected five qualities which I believe to be absolutely essential to a teacher," said Prof. Graff. "Without them, you will not be happy and successful. You can add to them as you like., First, you must have a professional spirit, or what I call a missionary spir it. It 13 a spirit of service.

PENNSYLVANIA SAILS TOWARD PANAU ZONE 400 Marines Aboard Supplies Rushed to Battleship Officers Non-commital as to Destination.

PANAMA IS WARNED (By Associated Pros) PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 22. TU-i United States battleship Pennsylvania with 400 marines for duty in Panama aboard, passed out the Delaware Capes today. The exact destination of the force was not made known and officials at the Philadelphia navy yard declared not even the commanding officers knew the duty they wen to perform upon arrival in the canal zone.

The battleship was stopped at the Delaware breakwater and the marine companies were taken directly from their trains to lighters and sent down the Delaware river to their transport. WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. The government of Panama has been informed by the United States that, as friendly mediator between Panama and Costa Rica in their boundary dispute, the American government does not "feel compelled to suggest" that Costa Rica delay longer in taking jurisdiction over territory now held by Panama and which was adjudged to belong to Costa Rica by the terms of the White award. The position of this government was set out In a note transmitted by Secretary Hughes to the government of Panama Aug. 13 and just made public by the state department. Costa Rica has advised the United States,' the not said, of its determination to assume immediate Jurisdiction over the disputed territory. While United States marines were sailing southward today to stand by when Costa Rica marches her forces into the tiny bit of territory whose ownership Panama has so earnestly and long contested, officials here expressed the opinion they would have a pleasant cruise and probably never fire a rifle. The navy department was requested by the state department to send the marines and Secretary Denby of the former department said the action wa. purely precautionary. He emphasized that no action was anticipated and Le"ff Aee5-ally w," te1t tb e territory dispute would be amicably adjusted.
