24 WILD LIFE PROTECTION FUND 



prevented by the duties that were laid upon us by the Ameri- 

 can Defense Society in its struggle against the rising tide of 

 Bolshevism and red socialism in America, and the effort to 

 arouse the American people to the dangers threatening our 

 nation from red sources. It is a satisfaction to be able to 

 state that in the fight against Bolshevism in America, our 

 campaign began in April, 1918, and it continued without 

 interruption or relaxation down to the great national move- 

 ment against the reds that began in November, 1919. Then 

 it seemed to us that the nation was awake, and our work 

 was finished. 



As an exhibit of our reasons why we have not accom- 

 plished more for wild life causes since the war began, the 

 Campaigning Trustee offers the following list of titles which 

 will suggest the character of his activities during the war. 



1914. Oct. to June, 1915. — Belgian Civilian Relief 

 Fund. 



1915. "The United States a Fool's Paradise." 



1916. "National Defenses or a National Licking." 



1917. "A Searchlight on Germany/' 



"The American Guardian (Boycott) Journal." 



1918. "Awake! America." 



"A Democracy of Crocodiles." 



1919. "The Lying Lure of Bolshevism." 



Within the limits of this introductory statement of causes 

 and activities it is impossible to set forth in detail the ef- 

 forts and the results of the last three years. The most im- 

 portant items will be treated separately in the following 

 pages. 



The Second Biennial Statement recorded very fully the 

 results of our western campaigns to save the sage grouse 

 and other upland game birds of the West that really were 

 achieved in 1917. In order to bring the work of the Fund as 

 far as possible down to date, we thus forestalled the most 

 important records of one of the years covered by this vol- 

 ume, and of course we will not duplicate that publication
