WWI Anti-German Sentiment: Wikipedia When the United States entered the war in 1917, some German immigrants, and sometimes even non-German immigrants who were perceived as German (Dutch, Scandinavian, Swiss), were looked upon with suspicion and attacked regarding their loyalty. Some German immigrants in the United States were even tried, convicted and imprisoned, on charges of sedition, merely for refusing to swear allegiance to the United States war effort. The Hindu German Conspiracy Trial received widespread press coverage in 1917-18.

City streets in Chicago with German names were changed, with several noted exceptions being Goethe and Schiller in the Gold Coast neighborhood (which remain the same today).

The city of Berlin, Michigan was renamed Marne, though the Berlin Raceway located there retains the original city name.

In New Orleans, Berlin St. was renamed for General Pershing (head of the American Expeditionary Force), sauerkraut came to be called (by some) "liberty cabbage", German measles became "liberty measles", hamburgers became "liberty sandwiches" and Dachshunds became "liberty pups".

In the United States between 1917–18, German-American schools and newspapers by the thousands were forced to permanently close. In cities and towns across the nation, libraries burned their German-language books in public burnings. The officials of German-named towns that had been founded by German-Americans were intimidated by county, state, and federal government officials into anglicizing their names, and into destroying all traces of their German heritage. In cities across the United States, German-sounding street names were banned. Many families with a German-sounding last name changed their surname. The vast majority of German-Americans, however, were loyal to their adopted country and thousands of them served in the United States military.

Newspapers in New York and other places published lists of inhabitants names and addresses, labeled as Enemy Aliens, thereby inviting neighbors to hostile actions.

As the public atmosphere became increasingly hysterical, vigilantes burned "pro-German" books, spied on neighbors, and attacked and murdered immigrants and radicals. Anti-German tension culminated on April 4, 1918, in the brutal lynching of German immigrant Robert Prager, a coal miner living in Collinsville, Illinois, who was accused of making "disloyal remarks". In June 1918 a bill was introduced in the House of Representatives by Representative John M. C. Smith with the aim to wipe out German names from the map of the United States.

The Controversy as described at Wikipedia:

Tarzan the Untamed was one of Burroughs’ most controversial novels. The controversy stemmed from his blanket portrayal of Germans as stereotypical, unredeemable villains, one that was also extended to his contemporary science fiction novel The Land That Time Forgot. This portrayal, while perhaps understandable in wartime, ultimately ruined the market for his writing in Germany, where the character of Tarzan had formerly been quite popular. Burroughs’ later introduction of heroic Germans into his subsequent novels Tarzan and the Lost Empire, Tarzan at the Earth’s Core and Back to the Stone Age did little to repair the damage to his reputation there.

Tarzan himself, unusually, is recast from his typical role as a noble and high-minded hero into that of a very human being so unhinged by grief as to blame a whole nation for the crimes of a few of its people, and to commit atrocities in consequence. His simple, direct and savage campaign against the enemy comes across as crude in comparison with Bertha's espionage, with which it ironically interferes. Tarzan's recovery of something approaching his normal status is attained only gradually. The parallel encounters with the two lions highlight his dual role; in the first, the lion is treated with cruelty, as an enemy and a tool against other enemies; in the second compassion prevails, and the lion is befriended and becomes a willing ally.

Regardless of its flaws, Tarzan the Untamed is an important work in the Tarzan series. It begins a sequence continuing with Tarzan the Terrible, Tarzan and the Golden Lion and Tarzan and the Ant Men in which Burroughs' vivid imagination and storytelling abilities hit their peak, and which is generally considered a highlight of the series.

Stephen Sorel Stephenson was born in Austria in 1893, and lived in Austria and Germany all his life. He was the head of a respected publishing house, with branches in Berlin and Vienna, that published many German works of literature, as well as German translations of English, French, and American writers (such as Laurence Sterne and Mark Twain); many of these translations were performed by Stephenson himself. He also wrote several books, mostly of a satirical or critical nature, both under his own name and under the pseudonym of Stephen Sorel. The “Sorel” titles were all written in the 1920s and included two books about Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan, one a parody (Tarzan hat geträumt! (Die Tarzan-Parodie) 1924) and the other a critical commentary, and an apparent fantasy tale called A Chase Through the Afterlife. 

“Leiningen Versus the Ants” is arguably one of the most famous short adventure stories ever written. It is often anthologized right alongside “The Most Dangerous Game” and the stories of Jack London. It still finds its way into high-school English classes. It’s a favorite of most radio buffs, due to its dramatization on Escape, and well-known to movie buffs through the film adaptation The Naked Jungle, produced by George Pal and starring Charlton Heston. 

Interestingly, publication of Tarzan the Untamed has resumed publication. 

However, in the 1932/33 adaptation of the story in newspaper strips by Rex Maxon, the military villains were changed to Russian Reds.

Many changes were made in the plot line as can be seen in the strips featured in ERBzine, starting at:

These strips will be released over the next month in ERBzine

Years later when much of the furor had cooled a  Manning/DuBois adaptation of the story returned the German army officers as villains.

Eliminated or tamed down were the more extreme sequences involving lions vs. the villains.

DC TARZAN COMICS The most recent comics adaptation was by DC comics: Tarzan #250-256, dated June-December 1976 (script by Gerry Conway and Denny O'Neill, art by José Luis García-López and others). This adaptation followed the book more closely than the previous ones, although it by-passed the events in Tarzan the Terrible -- Tarzan and Jane were re-united at the end of the "Untamed" adventure.
