Lord Methuen, he said, was deserving of German sympathy, as he had, as Military Attache in Berlin from 1877 to 1881, enjoyed the particular esteem of the first two Kaisers. The speaker added that he hoped Great Britain would accept their German cousins' ambulances for the benefit of their common cousins in South Africa. The Boers objected to British ambulances, fearing the divulgation of operations.
