Moscow Officials Hail t as "Iriumph for Red Diplomacy"
sr The AssaelsIsa Prsss.

By The Assafiaisd Prsss-
 Moscow. Aug, ai,-'fhe negotiation of treaty between Soviet Russia and the British government al the recent conference in London was hailed as a triumph for the Red diplomacy at 8 nienary meeting last night of the Moscow Soviet, The government will begin work on the further details Of the agreement Saturday, after the Soviet delegation makes its report 10 the council Of e0mmissars,
 Christian Rakapslly, who headed the London delegation, and Foreign Minister Tehileherin spoke io he workers at last nights meeting, N. Rakovsky, after reeanllulating the progress of the negotiations and the terms of the agreement, said. "The treaty was not signed without scratches. as its birth was most com plicated,"
 Its terms. he pointed out, did not infringe the principles of the Soviet laws regarding standardization and tho annulment of debts. as the concessions made were only of practical charae- ter. only claims which the govern ment considered practical or ae- knowledsed 10 be necessary in com pensatlon of Soviet justice would he paid. He predicted that the treaty would be ratified.
 Foreign Minister Tchltcherin. who was greeted with cries of Hong live our rcd diplomacy" said the treaty would serve as a basis to further re- lationships with other countries and would help consolidate the interna- tlonal situation of Russia, affirming at the same time the principles of the boshevik revolution. He at tached great importance to the fact that capitalistic country had agreed to guarantee a loan to Russia, which should be considered as backing the credit of the social federation.
 This world crisis" he added, has now persuaded the capitalistic govern ments to recognize that, without regu- arizing it's relationship with Russia. Europe cannot be reconstructed"
 The meeting adopted resolution thanking the delegates for their efforts and urging the government in future negotiations to adhere to the same principles and not agree to terms which would place new taxation on the working class.

CANON CITY, Col, Jan. 3D.
The great grey walls OF the Col
dorado state penitentiary today en-
closed w. G. Daniels, the song
bird prisoner, who claims to De
the son ola prominent DuDnn
publisher.
Daniels says his sister, Marie
Daniels, is e Metropolitan grand
opera singer, and that his mother.
now deceased, was Of the ancent
peerage.
He is thirty.one years old and a
fine physical specimen. He has
rich, cultured baritone voice, with
which he has made a comfortable
living during his travels over the
world. He speaks six languages
fluently.
Daniels was sentenced from Den
yer recently to one year in the
lpenitentiary for forgery. 1t is the
first time in his varied career, he
says, that he has run afoul OF the
law. The "warbling prisoner" al
ready has won, popularity with fell
low convicts and prison guards by
his joyial disposition.
Daniels served with the Irish
Fusilliers early In the world war.
later joining Uncle Sans forces In
France: He was honorably dis
charged from the United States
army at Newport News, Va. in
1919.
TITS my first experience with
the law Daniels told prison of.
ficials, land I'm ready to take my
medicine. Misfortune Is bound to
come to every man some time In
life.
"I've been a wanderer on the
face Of the earth for nearly twenty
years and am not surprised that
I've finally run afOul OF the law"
Daniels said he left his home In
Dublin when he was twelve years
old and has visited every city Of
consequence on the globe. His
first adventure came when he
hooked onto a tramp steamer out
Of Dublin and was cast adri4t by
the captain fifteen days later on
the Canary Islands. Another sea
trip took him to Crete. where he
was marooned for four months, II.
nally making the lower coast of
Greece, where a British consul
aided him in returning to London.

and Japan. One day in Seattle and
week later in New York-athat's
the way life has run for me-
Daniels declares he was thrown
into a dungeon in the interior of
Spain and never knew why he was
imprisoned. He came out gray.
haired after thirteen days Of con.
finement.
Daniels was held n the Denver
county Jail for several weeks be.
fore being sentenced to the peni.
tentiary, and, according to reports
from the city, officials there have
promised to aid him when his
prison term is completed.
