Four spectators were bruised when the

CALLS ALL
RESERVISTS IN U. S.
$4,000 Are Ordered to Join Colors to
Sail on Transports from
Canada,

New York, Aug. 24,-The frst call for
Great Britain's army reservists in the
United States since the outbreak of hos
tilities in Europe was sent out by the
London war Office Saturday in the form
of instructions to acting Consul-General
r. l.. Noteworthy in New York. The
message asked that he at once make
arrangements for dispatching the $4,000
men in this country to England to serve
under the English colors.
Passage for the reservists here is guar
anteed by the English government. The
men will be sent first to Canada, where
arrangements will be made with the do
minion government for their transporta-
ton to London on army transports. Brit
ish warships known to be lying off this
coast will act as conveys 10 the return
ing reservsts.
Two divisions make up the British
army reserve, the army reserve and the
special reserve, which was created out of
the old militia force in 1907. The army
reserve is made up of men who have
served certain time, usually seven
years, of their twelve-year enlistment.
The 100000 reservists estimated to be
in the United States make up consid
cradle part of the special reserve. Each
man was notified to be in readiness for
a call at the time of England's general
mobilization.
Mr., Noteworthy said Saturday night
that he has been receiving hundreds OF
letters weekly from army reservists here
for permission to join the colors. At times
the English consulate, at IL State street,
has been besieged by hundreds, to whom
he could, in the absence of orders, give
no encouragement.
Plans win be made to-day for sending
the men on to Canada, probably to Hall
fax or Montreal. 1t is expected that the
can be made very rapidly, |
since the majority are in the vicinity of
New York City. Mr.. Nosworthy has
sent instructions to all parts of the |
United States, and every incoming train |
for the next few days will bring re-
seryists

GERMANY'S TAX ON BELGIUM.
Authority Apparently Exists in Interna.
tional Law for the Action.

London, Aug 24-Until the exact con-
ditions are known under which S40,-
100000 war tax is to be levied upon
Brussels by its German captors, it is not
regarded as possible by the international
law experts at Washington to pass
finally upon the legality OF that method
Of warfare. The practice of levying
such taxes upon conquered communities,
which was quite common in most wars
up to and including the Nspoleonie era,
has since that time fallen into desuetude
and no trace of such exactions is to be
found in the history of the civil war in
America, the Turco-R Russian war, the
Franco prussian war or the Russo-Jap-
anese war, it il said
1t is recalled, however, that in the Ma
poleonic wars against the allies of Eu-
rope, Napoleon imposed indemnities on
the Italian provinces and also ON the
pope. He also enriched the Louvre by
taking the choicest treasures from the
art galleries OF cities overrun.
The Hague conference at its second
meeting showed distinct opposition to
such collections, but when ii came to
reducing that sentiment TO the form of
treaties, the subject was treated rather
vaguely and mainly with the purpose of
safeguarding Individual property, Cen
orally, it appeared that there was no
prohibition in terms upon local or munic
ipa! govrnments, precisely az in the case
OF tie indemnities ;acted from national
govcpments at the end of hostiitics.
The only reference TO the subject in
TIE Hague conventions is found in the
regulations respeetin,, the laws and
customs of wars on land" Article fGI
