LONDON, August 23,-The Times
calls ni.tentlon to the imitation of Na- poleon by Germany in demanding forty million rlollors war levy fro;-n Brussels. Napoleon made his cam- paigns partly self-supporting and once levied seventy million dollars on Rus- sia. The treasurer of the city of Brus- sels, M. l-lallet, says: "No possible measures will give them even a frac- tion of that sum. lt' is a flagrant
lnt`rini.:cment of the Hague c{onventlon. Either the levy of eight mill on pounds is n fine or it is a forced contribution. A flue may be legitimately imposed upon a conununity by invaders, but it implies an offence for which he is ex- acting a penalty. Brussels has com- /nitted no offence, nor do Germans allege any offence against her."
