Note 195 — Chapter II · OPPOSITION TO THE WAR WITH GERMANY (continued 2)
Reading edition
This was granted in Italy on November 19, 1918, before the signing of peace and in Germany before the armistice. The French amnesty was October 24, 1919. Sentences under the British Defense of the Realm Act have all expired, being very short; the longest, three years, was commuted to one year. This note comprises only seditious utterances in the war, not treasonable acts like the Bonnet Rouge affair or Irish convictions since the armistice.
