A BELGIAN NURSE,

HER WORDS OF PRAISE FOR BRITISH

SOLDIERS,

The London Times has the follow- ing :—The Brussels Reforme with an impartiality to which we have not for some time past been accustomed in the Belgian press, publishes some in- teresting extracts from the introduction to the volumn whch Mme. Bron, one of the Belgian nurses who went out to tend the Boer sick and wounded, is about to publish on her experiences in South Africa, both with the Boer forces and afterwards in the British camp when her ambulance fell into our hands at Jacobsdal. Mme. Brom says :—- ‘First of all 1 wish to state that, hav- ing gone out to help the Boers, I con- tinued to serve them inspite of my growing disgust because they were the weak side as a nation, and the helpless side in regard to ambulance organiza- tion. But I wish also to declare at the outset that I protest with the utmos indignation and the utmost love of truth against the abominable false- hoods poured out against the English. Having been their frisoner for three weeks at Jacobsdal, and having served with them during that period, I imagine Iam ina _ position to judge of them. The Boer is not wicked anc he is fairly hospitable. He is a brute, or rather a stupid, overgrown child. He is obstinate and boasttul. As for his henesty .and morality, we had bet- ter not dwell on those points. His pride is beyond conception, and his power of lying As for his respect fur women {i could relate de- tails and furnishevidence, but it would be too nauseous. . It was amongst the British soldiers—I say it and repeat it, and no power on earth will induce m2 to deny the truth—it was among.. them that I found myself once more ai home, surrounded by that gratitude, that affection, to which the humble folk of my own country had accustom- ed me. How good it was ,to feel one- self treated as a feliow creature after six weeks of cruel toil in a Boer hos- pital, full ef typhoid patients, withou even a single word of kindness.” Mme. Bron then proceeds to discuss the courage of the Boers, and ci. this point she intends in her book to quote the dying testimony of Colonel de Villebois Mareuil, “whose despair- ing words will show that gallant soldier to have gone forth to his death as cruelly disillusicned as the has re- turned to Europe.” The Boers fought with the tenacity of farmers or peasants all over the world who had been told that the English were coming to take their farms away from them. Had they been satisfied that thei lands would remain untouched, with a presentof money thrown in, they would never have fought at all. A Boer general had himself told her that it would be a’blessing for the country 1 the English took possession of it. though he, nevertheless went out and fought bravely against them, and did not give away strong positions © many others did from obstinacy, pride, or, to put it mildly, indifference. Mme. Bren concludes her introduc tory chapter by that the attempts already made to terrorize her will not deter her from carrying out the task she has undertaken in the cause of truth, out of sheer disgast at the mendacious exaggerations which have heldup the Boers as legendary heroes to the admiration of Europe, and the British soldiers to public opprobrium in the most outrageously calumnious light.

at some future time is thus described by the Cape Town correspondent of the London Chronicle :

Itis a tar cry from the operations uow terminating in the Free State to those with which Lord Roberts com- menced his invasion of that territory; but some most extraordinary and in- teresting facts have just come to light which are worth summarsing. It will be remembered that after the surrend- er of Cronje and what remained of his force at Paardeberg there was some speculation as to what had become of large quantities of arms aud ammuni- tion which were known to be in his possessions. It was commoniy said that they had been buried, the object of their interment being twofold, name- ly, to keep them from falling into the hands of the British, and also in order that they might be used on some fu- ture occasion by the Boers themselves, should luck again come in their way.

About that extraordinary burial there is now no doubt. But your Boer is “slim,” and when this work was done every imaginable artifice was employed

other grave with a wooden cross at its head, there came, first, an oilskin coat, mext (three feet rrom the surface) a long blanket stretched out upon a lot of crossed sticks. Suspended from the sticks, and carefully wrapped up in oil and thick blankets, were three new English Lee-Metfords, a saddle under thers, and a bundle of photo- graphs bearing the names of colonial photographers. The total depth of this grave was nine feet-good, hard solid digging.

Thecunning displayed by the Boers in thus hiding arms and ammunition is marvelous, and but for the ingenuity of the bushmen doubtless _ shells, guns and ammunition would have remain- ed intact until the premeditated day for their removal.

The skill of the Australians, remarks this visitor to Pairdeberg, is a lesson to our own pice. To the ordinary passo® by the ground is even, and differs not from the veldt generally, but the astute noncom, stops between two filled-up trenches. He makes a mark with his

to deceive those who might make in- vestigations. But there are others at ; present in this country who are also “slim,” and in this case what might be

called the woodcraft of the Australian

bustmen has been of immense service.

Some of these bushmen khaki-clad,

spade in hand, and rifle slung handy

to the grip, have been engaged ior

some time in unearthing the hidden

spoils. It has not been nice work, but

that is the fault of the Boers, who have

shown but little respect for the dead.

The stench is described as horrible—

first carbolic, and then al! the sicken-

ing horrors of dead oxen, dead sheep,

horses done to death by hard work or

shell, and it must be added, dead men.

These bushmen were actually digging

upthe dead. Beneath the bodies of

these deac Boers were buried, carefully wrapped in blankets, numbers of) rifles.

“What does it mean? What are the rifles doing there ? Is that box another coffin ?” askeda visitor to the famous baitlefield.

“See here,” said the bushman, as he took off his hatto wipe the per- spiration from his forehead, “chis i the way the Boers treated their dead.’

He picked upa rifle marked “H. Pienaar.”

“This I found near one body —poor devil. Underthat body you see now I am going to pull out these guns and alot of ammunition. Here, Jacob! December! lend a hand.” And the two Kiffirs came up to assist the sol- dier grave-digger.

First came six rifles, then two boxes, on opening which Mauser am- munition was found. Both boxes were full and uninjured. They had come via Port Elizabeth, in the first place, consigned to Bloemfontein. The painting on the boxes was plain, and the three months’ burial had done the cartridges no harm.

At anuther spot some twenty Boers had been dug up, with the result that thousands of rounds of ammunition were discovered—put by for future use, it is to be presumed; otherws:2 why not have tossed them into the river hard by?

Some hundreds of graves and trencaes were made 10 disgorge their contents; and frequent ywh ut appeared

's last turned cut to be but a clever ruse to conceal pom-pom shells or arullery ammuni-

caliber. In one

twice cver no find repays the energy and industry of the perspiring party. “Turn this up, boys,” says the cor- poral, turning an inquisitive eye to a blade ortwo of grass, which, after handling gently, he piucks and throws aside. ‘This bit of ground has been taken up, and flattened down after— wards, and the trenches have been filled in as a blind.”

From under this innocent looking ground were recovered a case of pom- pom shells andan unexploded lyddite shell, a damaged sadile and in a tin case containing papers and an old kit.

JOHN BULL'S JOKE.

It is very doubtful if Great Britain had any motive beyonda desire to give protection where it was believed protection was needed waen she sent troops to Shanghai. Immediately a dark cloud of suspicion swept athwart Europe. What was England doing? Russia sent troops into Manchuria, and is practically carrying ona little war of herown there. This seemed to be regareed as all right and_ proper. But when Britain ventured to send troops to Shanghai,where she has many residents and predominating interests —which it were better to guard befere they were attached than relieve after they were invested and partially des- troyed—the action at once caused a foreign shock of jealous anxiety. Such a vigorous protest was made by the chinese viceroys and such mutterings of disapproval sent from foreign cent sul; to their governments that the British seemed to be palsied. Admir al Seymour communicated by cable with his Government and then an- nounced that Great Britain had decid- ed to withdrawn. The Admiral ac- tually sailed away. Then the foreign residents and consuls saw visiens of massacre rising before them; they began hurriedly te think that the dark- skinned Ghurkas and other troops of Perfidious Albion would be nice to have there, after all. This feeling de- veloped toa very shriek“of dismay, and the consuls united ina request to their Governments to induce the Brit- ish to come back and land. The

British Foreign Office was then inform- ed by France, Germany and Austria that they would be pleased to have { British troops land at Shanghai. Ad- miral Seymour was sent after, went back and the troops were landed. It is now believed that the whole thing was more or less of a quiet joke the British Foreign Office was playing. It is said that troops were sent to be landed at Shanghai, and were going to be landed there to protect British in- terests, no,matter what-any other Pow- er thought... The ruse, if ruse it was, of pretending to be ready to abandon te place to its fate, succeeded admir- ably. ‘The British authorities are hav- ing a quiet chuckle and the European residents of Shanghi are teeling better.
