"But, say, I watched her a while and then I went over and said, 'Come here, kid. Where do you live? She didn't understand, and one of the other kids translated for her, and then she said, 'Ich sprech nicht English," and he mocked her. "That fixed her for me. One of the others finally told me who she was and where she lived and, say, I went right home and began studying German.
Theodore Dreiser - Twelve Men

The German Sprache shall the Britisch Folk's Sprache be and every Englisch Man who German not sprech kann shall with a by-Proclamation-to-be-declared-Strafe gestrafed be. Everyone shall German Soldiers salute. If any one misses this to do shall the Soldier the Right have him through the body with a sword to run. Only German Cigars and Tabak shall gesmokt be.
Various - Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 153, September 19, 1917
