 UNDER IRRIGATION IN THIS COUNTY

That more than 321, ,000 acres of land are now under irrigation in Maricopa county. and that this acre age will be more than doubled by the addition and completion of new projects is the substance of report which has been compiled by the chamber of commerce from authori- tative sources.

JAPAN TO ABANDON
POLICING OF SIBERIA
Exodus Of Troops Called Pre-

COPYRIGHT, 1921, By THE New York HERALD.
REvAL. via London, Oct. 25.-"White''
Russian newspapers lament the COM
plete change that has taken place in
Japan's policy toward Siberia and the
steady exodus of japanese troops from
Vladivostolz for home.
Anti-Bolshevist Russians see in this
the moderating hand Of England. who
does not want trouble to grow up be-
tween Japan and the United States
over the Siberian question. and they
prophesy the speedy signing Of Russo
Japanese trade agreement on lines of
the Anglo-Russian agreement.
This is borne out by statement In
the Red Gazette, which says that "a GER
tain Power" probably meaning France,
is trying to hinder the trade agreement
between Toxic ana the Chita republic
and also by the fact that Japan has
ceased to support Gen. Semenoff. the
anti-Bolshev!st leader, who Is now in
Shanghai and who is talking of going to
America.
II the Japanese are really leaving
Siberia 1t would indicate wisdom in
abandoning that hopeless adventure.
but unfortunately the white" Russian
newspapers referred to are subsidized
by Japan. 1t is probable the Japanese
really are evacuating Siberia and are
taking care to advertise the fact. Ger
tainly there Is a complete lull in Siberia
at present and all the anti-Bolshevist
leaders have disappeared.
