London, May 11.
King George has sent a telegram to King Leopold, Queen Wilhelmina and the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg. The telegram to King Leopold says: "German forces are invading your country in flagrant violation of international law, and of specific assurances given by German Government.
"This outrage was committed despite the strict neutrality observed by Belgium since the outbreak of the war. I wish to explain how deep is my disgust at this crime, and express profound admiration for the gallant resistance now being made by the Belgian people under your leadership.
"For the second time, within a quarter of a century, Germany has made an unprovoked attack upon your country, and once more in accordance with the obligation assured by my Government, and the French Government, Allied forces are hastening to the support of your people.
"I have complete faith that together, our arms will again prevail, and Belgium will maintain her freedom, and independence. In this critical hour I wish to convey to you, and your people, an expression of sympathy and admiration for your country, which is felt by my people, through-cut the world."
