'''SIR A. C. DOYLE AND FATE OF POSSIBLE CAPTIVES.'''

That it would be appropriate to erect a monument outside the recruiting station, or outside Scotland-yard, to Count Zeppelin and his confederates, as <q>"the most cold-blooded and wholesale murderers who had ever come into this country,"</q> was the suggestion made by [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]] at a meeting held at Holborn last night to promote the raising of a local volunteer corps.

[[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Sir Arthur]] declared that if any inducement could be advanced to bring out the manhood of the country, it should be the remembrance of the dastardly outrages which had been recently perpetrated by Germans, and which had degraded what they had hoped would have been a chivalrous foe to the level of murderers of women and children.

He only trusted that if any of them fell into our hands their punishment would be that of murderers.
