Possibly the Sinn Feiners thought they smelt conscription and militarism in this, for not only did they formally expel the Redmondites, but entered upon precisely the same tactics in regard to the present war that the Parnellites adopted during the South African War. This consisted in violent pro-German sentiments, just as there had been pro-Boer sentiments a couple of decades ago.
And what an impudent thing of that old Kruger!" "Impudent!" said June. "I think he's quite right. What business have we to meddle with them? If he turned out all those wretched Uitlanders it would serve them right. They're only after money." The silence of sensation was broken by Francie saying: "What? Are you a pro-Boer?" "Well!
When not occupied with mumbling, 'I quite agree with you' 'As you say' 'That is precisely my opinion' we sit about and ask each other riddles: 'What did the Pro-Boer? 'Why did Julius Caesar?" "Fashion has succeeded where Force for centuries has failed," added the Philosopher. "One notices the tendency even in public affairs. It is bad form nowadays to belong to the Opposition.
Michael was a Pro-Boer and flew no flags. All these things irritated Maurice. He had come back again. He had missed it, as he had missed all the chances that were ever given him.
Nevertheless, the matter has been made to serve calumniating reports on a considerable scale in the pro-Boer Press abroad, declaring that those documents conveyed absolute proofs of England's perfidious intentions of attacking the Orange Free State unawares, whilst all the time professing friendly relations and undertaking to respect the complete integrity of the Republican status of both States.

Here they are trekking and fighting daily in an uninteresting country, scorched by day, cold by night, without drink, without women. Any other soldiers in Europe would have mutinied long ago. There were several foreign war-correspondents with our army. Of these the only Frenchman, M. Carrère of the 'Matin' was an ardent pro-Boer.
And Jolly said: "I saw you and that fellow in the Park." The sight of blood rushing into her cheeks gave him some satisfaction; she ought to be ashamed! "Well?" she said. Jolly was surprised; he had expected more, or less. "Do you know," he said weightily, "that he called me a pro-Boer last term? And I had to fight him." "Who won?"
Everyone was so well-behaved that there was no scandal going, and Mrs. Parry began to think that she ought to pay a visit to town. Her cousin, Mrs. McKail, had already gone back to New Zealand with a fearful opinion of English Society, for Mrs. Parry had blackened the country just as though she had been a pro-Boer.
I do not mean to say that I am sanguine about it even now; but I know to-day, what I did not know then, that great sympathy is felt for us by other nations. Even in England this sympathy is to be found, as is shown by the largely-attended 'Pro-Boer' meetings which have been held in that country.
