Text continues: "The Treaty of 1839 (which the German Chancellor tore up, remarking that it was only 'a scrap of paper') said: 'Belgium....shall form an independent and perpetually neutral state. It shall be bound to observe such neutrality towards all other states.' Germany has trampled on the Treaty she signed. Can Britons stand by while Germany crushes an innocent people? Enlist to-day."
Caption reads: " These are the seals and signatures of the Six Nations who guaranteed Belgian independence and neutrality. Great Britain - Palmerston, Belgium - Sylvain Van De Weyer, Austria - Senfft, France - H. Sebastiani, Germany - Bülow, Russia - Pozzo Di Borgo."
