Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War in South Africa: Its Cause Conduct For some reason, which may be either arrogance or apathy, the British are very slow to state their case to the world. At present the reasons for our actions and the methods which we have used arc set forth in many Blue-books, tracts, and leaflets, but have never, so far as I know, been collected into one small volume. In view of the persistent slanders to which our politicians and our soldiers have been equally exposed, it becomes a duty which we owe to our national honour to lay the facts before the world. I wish someone more competent, and with some official authority, had undertaken the task, which I have tried to do as best I might from an independent standpoint. There was never a war in history in which the right was absolutely on one side, or in which no incidents of the campaign were open to criticism. I do not pretend that it was so here. But I do not think that any unprejudiced man can read the facts without acknowledging that the British Government has done its best to avoid war, and the British Army to wage it with humanity. I may add that I have not burdened my pages with continual references. My quotations are reliable and can always, if necessary, be substantiated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War in South Africa: Its Causes and Effects During the summer and autumn of 1899 I spent several months in South Africa examining the political situation in the Transvaal and Cape Colony. I was at Pretoria during the most critical period of the negotiations, at Bloemfontein when the Raad of the Free State decided to stand by the Transvaal, and at Cape Town when the war began, and I had the opportunity of personal intercourse with many men of political prominence in the Republics and the Colony. The earlier chapters of this book are chiefly revised and amplified impressions of what I saw and heard, and include detailed studies of "Outlander grievances" and of the feelings of Dutch and British Afrikanders upon the eve of the present conflict. Several of the chief issues I have detached for separate treatment, fortifying personal experience and intercourse by documentary evidence, some of which has not been before published in this country. The latter part of the volume is chiefly devoted to an economic and political analysis of those factors in the situation which throw light upon the possibilities of a stable settlement upon the termination of the war, and of a peaceful and prosperous future for South Africa.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peace or War in South Africa The increasing luxury and the rise in the price of the necessities of life drove our public men to seek sources of revenue which their forefathers would have scorned. The sale of public offices, of seats in Parliament, and of influence, had created a system of jobbery so gigantic that it is to-day almost impossible to appreciate its far-reaching effects. The Paymaster of the Forces thought it no disgrace to use hundreds of thousands of pounds Of the public money for private ends; Ministers did not Shrink from Open bribery, from receiving fees and percentages, and from sharing the profit on contracts of every kind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from With Roberts to Pretoria: A Tale of the South African War The second phase of the struggle did not afford such ex amples of warfare on a large scale as might have been anticipated. The operations of Lord Methuen for the relief of Kimberley were brought to a standstill by the inadequacy of the comparatively small force under his command for the task of breaking down the Opposition of the Boer army, holding, like that before Ladysmith, a position of immense natural strength. With the advance, however, of the army under General Roberts, resistance on a large scale virtually collapsed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War in South Africa: Prepared in the Historical Section of the Great General Staff, Berlin The essential object of this work is the instruction of the German officer, and the criticisms which it contains point out, therefore, not only our alleged faults and errors, but show also what, in the opinion of the Great General Staff at Berlin, we ought to have done. This celebrated branch of the German army had access to various sources of information both during and after the war which were closed to us, and the work may best be left to speak for itself. Germany is not the only Great Power which has a fully equipped Military History section, but hers is, perhaps, better known by name in England than the corresponding branches in other armies, and it is readily admitted that in accomplishing any task which they have set themselves, the Germans are, at any rate, thorough and systematic.

It is fortunate for Liberalism that men like Lord Rosebery, Mr. Asquith, Sir Edward Grey, Mr. Haldane, and others who act with them, belong to the Party; for were it not for these, who are styled Liberal Imperialists, it is certain that the breach between the Party and the Colonials would be irreparable, and the return of the Party to office would be the signal for the disruption of the Empire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The South African War: Is England's Position Justifiable and Should She Succeed? Having read the various articles bearing upon the question, to inform myself as far as possible of the characteristics of the Boers, and having reflected upon the character of the English people, I am led to adopt as the text of my remarks this evening an observation made by Emerson after his first interview with Carlyle. He said of Carlyle: He was honest and true and cog nizant of the subtle links that bind ages together, and saw howevery event affects all the future. That came from a sturdy Englishman; aye, some may correct me and say a sturdy Scotch man; but are not the Highlanders also defending the honor and glory of England in South Africa today? We are apt to judge of this as an isolated question. We view it from a standpoint too close to the great historical events which may possibly change the whole trend of civilization. A great deal depends in consid ering questions of this character, upon the point of view. We need the proper perspective. Unfortunately for us, unfortunately for those who participate in the great events of the world, that perspective is only obtained by lapse of time. Locality does not furnish it. Distance does not aid it. With the passage of time and upon a consideration of the causes that led _to the event, and above and beyond all things upon the results which follow, de pends a proper judgment of the event as one to be commended or condemned. We in this country, and we of the Candlelight Club in particular, need to reflect upon the fact that the great events which have engaged the attention of mankind are simply land marks in the evolution of the human race. There is scarcely a movement tending eventually to the general good that is not associated with so much of evil that for the time being, at least, men may contend the one way or the other as to where the right or the wrong may be. But history solves the controversy. History produces the proper perspectives and gives the proper judgment. That which at one moment is condemned, at another moment is approved. Of this I am reminded by a remark just made that the last governor of this state upon the Philippine ques tion has changed his mind at least twice, and we do not know but. That before the next meeting of the Candlelight Club to which he is invited he will have changed his mind again. (laughter) That is no reflection. It is an evidence that his mind is at work. It is an evidence that he is studying the question in the light of constantly occurring events. And it is in view of this men tal condition of being open to conviction that I ask you to give thorough consideration to the matters now presented. So that you may fairly determine whether, in the language of the subject as stated on the card, England's pos1tion is justifiable and whether she should succeed.
