In order to protect its neutrality, a State whose territory is adjacent to a theater of war normally mobilizes a portion of its forces to prevent troops of either belligerent from entering its territory, to intern such as maybe permitted to enter, and generally to carry out its duties of neutrality.
Should the neutral State be unable, or fail for any reason, to prevent violations of its neutrality by the troops of one belligerent entering or passing through its territory, the other belligerent may be justified in attacking the enemy forces on this territory.
A neutral Power is not called upon to prevent the export or transport, on behalf of one or other of the belligerents, of arms, munitions of war, or, in general, of anything which can be of use to an army or a fleet.

Now, where laws direct the President to make proclamation, it is for some purpose denoted by the law, or where the binding force of laws as made dependent upon the issuance of an official proclamation, or suspended laws are reanimated by proclamation, we perceive a practical use to such formal monition.
Now, in the first place, this proclamation is essentially preventive, and aims, by its counsel and monition, to dissuade the citizen from committing a breach of the law, which is supposed to be meditated.
There is no legitimate way in which the threatened energies of the President are to have active scope in the prosecution meditated; that must not render the exercise of his powers gravely questionable, or that shall not reflect with some stain, or unnecessary shade of suspicion, upon the ermine of justice.

 AllRefer.com - belligerency (International Law) - Encyclopedia
In civil wars if the insurgent force is granted belligerency rights, neutral nations generally abstain from supplying or helping either the established government or its opponent.
An example of this practice is found in the neutrality proclamations issued by European powers in the American Civil War.
Neutral nations may refuse to recognize the belligerency of an insurgent, however, and in this way preserve the right to claim any damages that accrue against the established government for having failed to suppress the rebellion without delay.

 Declaration of War Against Germany, 1917
The German Government denies the right of neutrals to use arms at all within the areas of the sea which it has proscribed, even in the defense of rights which no modern publicist has ever before questioned their right to defend.
Armed neutrality is ineffectual enough at best; in such circumstances and in the face of such pretensions it is worse than ineffectual: it is likely only to produce what it was meant to prevent; it is practically certain to draw us into the war without either the rights or the effectiveness of belligerents.
We are at the beginning of an age in which it will be insisted that the same standards of conduct and of responsibility for wrong done shall be observed among nations and their governments that are observed among the individual citizens of civilized states.

Unless the members of Congress were hypocrites or imbeciles, they did not think this proclamation was an Establishment Clause violation.
