Peace Council Takes Up Matter of Size of Army of Occupation in RhineIand Country.

Paris, July 26.-The size of the force required for the occupation of the Rhin eland under the peace treaty terms was discussed by the supreme council today. For the present, it is said, 150, ,000 men will be thought ne- Cessary on the left bank of the Rhine.
 The organization of the military ex- petition for the occupation of Silesia during the taking of the plebiscite also was considered. The general un- derstanding is that all of the allied and associated armies should be rep resented. Participation of American troops, however, depends upon ratifi- cation of the peace treaty, it is pointed out, as in case of unfavorable action, there would no longer, exist a reas for the presence of the Americans

JAPAN PREPARES
 ITO KEEP PROMISE
Sends Man to Shanttng to Make Way for Return of Its Sovereignty
 to China.

Tol1io, July 26 (By The Associated councillor of the Japanese legation at Picking, left here today for the Shan tung Peninsula to conduct a special investigation of conditions there pre- paratory to negotiations with China for the return of it's sovereignty over the territory controlled by Japan under the German peace terms. The negotiations, officials indicated, will be initiated after ratification of the peace treaty by the privy council which, officials say they expected, would take place before Septem- Der 15.
 Much interest is displayed by off cials here in the inquiries made in the United States senate by Senator Borah, of Idaho, regarding the nego- tiations at the peace conference which resulted in the Shantung agreement
 Japanese officials say Japan is ready to make all enterprises in the Shantung, including railroads and mines, joint undertak king with the Chinese.
 Japan, it is understood, is having difficulty in inducing China to discuss the Shantung question. Failure of the Chinese delegation at Paris to sign the peace treaty, it is said, is proving to be source of embarrassment.

Closed Shop Provision is Dropped in Seamen's Walkout-Conditions Will Be Normal in Few Hours-AV1atlon Pilot to Confer With Praeger.

New York, July 26.-End of the strike of 10000 marine workers which has tied up shipping in Atlantic and Gulf ports for the last three weeks, was announced here today by Gus tave H. Brown, general secretary of the International Seamen's union, who added that ships would be moving by this afternoon.
 The men, Secretary Brown stated, were satisfied" with the terms of set clement which include an increase of $15 a month per man for all except the coal passers, who receive a $10 in crease. Latest reports from local un- ions all over the country, he said, showed unanimity in favor of waiving the demands for an hour day at sea and a "closed shop" in order to end the strike.
 Rights of Unions.
 The right of the unions to have their delegates passed through the piers and allowed to go aboard the vessels of the American Steamship association was conceded by the en- ployers who, however, rejected as inn practicable the demands for the eight hour day and "closed shop" This at titude of the employers was sustained by the U. s. Shipping Board in draw ing up the terms of settlement.
 Official announcement of the end of the labor controversy was made by Secretary Brown following action talk en by 800 members of the Marine Bremen, Offers and Water Tenders union who vote d to accept the terms. The Cooks and Stewards association here shortly afterward voted unani- mously to go back to work. Reports from all the locals of the Internation- al Seamen's union as to the result of their vote were expected by o'clock tonight.
 Oscar Carlson, general secretary of the Marine Bremen, Oilers and Wa ter Tenders union, declared ''the strike is over and it will not be more than IA hours before shipping is re- stored to normal.

Pass Through Locks,

Aboard the U. s. s. New MexicoH July 25, (By Associated Press )-FouS dreadnoughts of the Pacific fleet, thd New Mexico, Arkansas, Texas and New York were lifted successfully through the Gatun Locks today. This was the first attempt to negotiate tho waterway with fleet of dreadnought# Y and tonight the warships lie anchored in the fresh water of Gatun rlRlSe,ssS Q feet above sea level. The dread thoughts will resume their trip to ward the Pacific ocean Saturday, at which time the Mississippi and Wyonl ing, now coaling and oiling at ColonI will commence the passage of thd canal
 Admiral ROdman Pleased.
 Admiral Hugh Rodman in command of the fleet, was pleased with the suc1 cess of the first stage of the canal trip. He said
 "The flagship was lifted out of thd three locks of Gatun dam in ond hour and 17 minutes. Now let us gd tarpon fishing near the dam-puttina dreadnoughts through the canal is tod easy"
 The old battleships Georgia and Vermont joined the fleet at Colon tod day. After the New Mexico had oiled at Colon this afternoon she swung laziIy into I4imon bay whence she toold the two ships part of the way to thd dam, creeping slowly through thd first cuttings of the waterway amid dense jungle growth like some weird amphibian in a prehistoric swamp.
 Drawn By Electric Mules.
 Nearing the locks, the crew flung landing lines overheard which quickly drew on board steel cables that led to| the electric mules running on tracks, on each side of the locks. The wholeI operation seemed to function auto Il maticaIly, for not an order was heard) as the dreadnoughts slid into the low I CT locks as easiy as a shuttle into al sewing machine
 Boats Easily Lifted.
 The steel gates astern the flagship then closed like great jaws and churn i ing water rose up from viaducts in the bottom of the lock, while theSNew Mexico was lifted as earily and rap- idly as a roWboat. The flagship was then lifted out of the next two locks in the same fashion. while crowds standing on top of the concrete lock walls threw bananas and cocoanuts at the ships crew.
 20 DcStrOyerS Go Through.
 Twenty destroyers went through the canal Thursday, passing through the locks in groups of ten. Captain Twin ing, chief of staff, said that the canal had proved it's naval value beyond a doubt. as dreadnoughts may be easi- ly moved from the Atlantic to the Pa cific with eelerity and without trouble as shown by today's operation.
 The Pacific fleet will leave Panama. for San Diego, Cal, Sunday night.

BILE Of Organization Shown in
Concert at Metropolitan

Tho Vatican thoirs. which made Il dc

first appearance in this city n little more
than month ago gave another CONCERT

cuqnlcd the size of the first one
The robcd choir consisting of about
fifty or sixty mcu and boy choristcrs.,
was, rs before, under the direction of
MouSignor Raffaclc Cnsimro Casimiri.
The program which they presented last
evening was totally different one from
tho first ono and one more varied in
character. PalcStrina was represented
by five numbers. all religious IN char

at the first concert. and MOnsignor
casnliri himself by n MiScrcrc OF great
skill in composition and beauty Of tone
and sentiment.
AS in the previous concert. the cE
srmblc of the choirs was their main fca
turP. The control which MonSigu"r
tasimiri has over the members in their
singing is remarkable, no easy feat to
accomplish when the extreme youth OF
some eight or ten of the children is
taken into consideration. Tho intona

BECAUSE of the seeming greater beauty OF
the works themselves or because by that

toned to the formal style Of compost

timental beauty in it not apparent at
the very first is difficult to say. All
this old ccClcsastca music is very diff
