THE SOCIETY FOR THE PRESERVATION OF 



EXTRACT FROM MESSAGE FROM THE HON. THEO- 

 DORE ROOSEVELT, PRESIDENT OF THE UN FT ED 

 STATES. 



It is perfectly evident to any intelligent man that the people 

 who are protesting against what they call ' the curse of the big 

 game ' do not know what they are talking about. We have just 

 such people in abundance here in America, and I have for twenty- 

 five years waged war upon them in connection with game protec- 

 tion. 



I was particularly pleased to receive the journal. It is most 

 interesting. I congratulate you upon the admirable work you are 

 doing, and I wish you would extend to your colleagues my hearty 

 sympathy with all that is being accomplished by the Society for 

 the Preservation of the Wild Fauna of the Empire. 



Theodore Roosevelt.
