Jerome, the English author, writes. of addressing an audience of British soldiers return- ed from the front, when he paid cer- tain compliments to the enemy's valor. His auditors applauded. If he had said the same things to a meeting of civilians, he writes, he would have been hissed and hooted from the stage. The Britisher in khaki feels an obligation, often the legacy of former experience on the playing field, to give the enemy, th opponent, credit where credit is due him, Frequently it may be noted that the spectator is more bitterly or blindly partisan than the player who wears his golors, In his official report after the Jutland battle, it will be recalled,. Admiral Jellicoe paid the enemy an unusually warm compliment for his bravery at one point in the conflict.
