RUSSIA.
TRANS-SIBERIAN RAILWAY,
IN ALLIES' HANDS.
London, Sept 13. The whole trans-Sibprian railway, from Vl&divostock to Samara (500 miles south-east of Moscow) is now in our hands, and the process of dispersing the Red Guards in the neighborhood .of Chita (near Lake Baikal) is continuing satisfactorily.
There has been considerable fighting in the neighborhood of Ekaterinburg (in the Urals), where it is reported Trotsky is personally commanding the Bolsheviks, assisted by German officers.
The Czechs, when they captured Kazan, secured a large amount of bullion transferred by the Bolsheviks from Petrograd and Moscow for greater security. Further south there is evidence of a concentration of Germans under General von Eichorn, the intention apparently being to capture Tsaritsin with the object of separating the pro-Entente troops /northward from those operating between Vologda and the Caucasus, and so obtain control of the western shores of the Caspian.—Aus.-N.Z.
