Mr. Forbes does not omit to write this further description of Mr. Warburg’s condition at the time:
“unable then to speak idiomatic English with perfect freedom and without an accent, an alien not naturalized.”
Mr. Forbes also wrote—“Here is a German-American, but the sort of one that makes the hyphen look like a badge of honor.”
That was in 1916. Hyphens went out of fashion, though not entirely out of use, soon after.
Thus far the story of Paul Warburg.
