Abstract
In camp jargon of Tommies, in labels of cartoonists, in scare-heads of penny-sheets, metropolitan and colonial, in pleadings of war-orators to gaping cockneys, in versifying of the convincingly "human boys" of writer Eden Philipotta's story, and everywhere in colloquial give and take stalks frightfully "the Hun." He is the tyrant of the world, aspiring to bend all people to his whim, making war without a quarrel, and thinking any crime allowed him, because his will is his only law. He measures his aims by the length of his arm, satisfying his pride by his lavish unrestraint.
