(By Associated Press) TOKIO, Oct. 26. As the fleet of 10 Japanese transports steamed from Vladivostok harbor today bearing away the last of the Mikado's soldiers and leaving the Primorla in the hands of the Reds, Japan closed her books on her adventures on the Siberian mainland with a total on the debit side of upward of 1,500,000,000 yen. Added to this drain on the government exchequer there is a loss to Jap

anese farmers and business men who abandoned their, holdings as the soldiers withdrew, which will run into millions. The actual cost of the final evacuation itself was 500,000 yen. A year ago there were 10,000 Japanese civilians on the Siberian mainland. Today there are less than 2,000, of whom 1,500 are in Vladivostok and a few hundred in the interior. ' Reds in Control Troops of the Red army, representing the far eastern republic of Siberia, were In complete possession of Vladivostok today.

They emphasize its leading points In heavy type headlines, showing how unpalablo the labor platform is to most of the papers. Only two of them devote a full editorial to the manifesto.
