I haven't read "The Coming of Bill" (published 1920), but is there any chance that the title could be a comment to Saki's "When William Came" (published 1913), or is it just a coincidence?
Saki's story is about a Britain which is occupied by Germany, and how a lot of British people are eager collaborators because that's convenient and profitable.
