WAR TO THE KNIFE.

REPRISALS ADVOCATED. ("The TinuV) LONDON. Mny 27. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, in a letter to the Press, writes:—We should have shot three leading (ierman prisoners when Nurse C.avell was inurdered, and two submarine commanders for Captain Fryatt. German prisoners should be picketed between hospital tents, and any captured bomber should be executed, with a notice that a similar fate awaits all those captured at such work. If the (ierman attempt reprisals, let us have counter-reprisals, sharp, stern, and relentless. If it must be war to the knife, let it at least be equal for both parties.
