On June 28, 1919, the day this was printed, the Treaty of Versailles was signed in France ending the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers of World War I. That’s the context for the “hun mine-layer” comment.

    ‘atilla’ meant something like ‘little Daddy’ in visigothic.

    Do with that what you will

      That’s a little unfair because “daddy” is already a diminutive version of “dad” so you are double dipping on diminutives. It’d be more accurate to say that “atilla” is either like “little dad” or “daddy”.
