...been over for more than two years, and Mr. Debs, 65 years old and broken in health, is still serving a sentence, marked by good conduct on his part a sentence which, for a man of his age, amounts to a life term. As an example to others, his imprisonment is no longer necessary, for the offense which caused it cannot at present be committed.

...joys to which children are entitled. I have seen places where the children have forgotten how to play; they had to be taught all over again how to be children. I have seen thousands and thousands of children in France, and very many of them under five years of age did not know what Christmas was. The war did not let them learn of the natural outlet of childhood activities.
