The film consists of two parts. The first part deals with the presentation of the mobilization cross. On a kind of outdoor stage, speeches are given. 
The first speech is by the Queen’s Commissioner in Utrecht, H.Th. s'Jacob, followed by General Snijders (who gets the audience to offer three “hurrays”), and finally a speaker who constantly admonishes with his finger; this is probably the secretary of the national association for the mobilization cross, J. de Vries.
