His fury was in vain, for the Czechs were a united and 
     
     coherent force and they quickly showed what boldness and 
     
    
   
   
    
     resolution could do in a country torn by dissension and 
     
     riddled with enemies of the Soviet. They captured Kazan, and 
     
     there seized the Russian State Treasury of 65,000,000 pounds 
     
     held by the Bolshevists; they drove the enemy out of 
     
     Teheliabinsk, the European terminus of the Siberian Railway; 
     
     and the whole length of the railway from the Volga far into 
     
     Siberia, passed into their hands.

     As has been said, the Czecho-Slovaks did not travel 
     
     across Siberia as an army, but in scattered detachments of 
     
     varying strength, stretching over thousands of miles of 
     
     railway, and early in June (1918) reached Vladivostok, the 
     
     great Siberian harbour on the Pacific. This force numbering 
     
     15,000 men took possession of the military stores, and thus 
     
     saved these immense depots, sent by the Allies, from being 
     
     deployed against them by the enemy. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Bolshevists had captured extensive sections of the 
     
    
   
   
    
     railway and on Aug, 24th, the Allies forces with the British,
