(Exclusive to the Guardian.)
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."
