A LETTER FROM THE ROYAL SO- 

 CIETY FOR THE PROTEC- 

 TION OF BIRDS 



HlLLCREST, REDHILL, SURREY. 



22 Sept., 1913. 

 Dear Dr. Hornaday : 



I cannot tell you how full of joy we are 

 on account of your splendid victory. It has 

 heartened us in a way in which we have 

 never been heartened before. 



I am glad if even the introduction of the 

 Hobhouse Bill helped you a little bit. The 

 passing of your Clause in the Tariff Bill will 

 be of immense value to lis. 



We are hoping for the best, but even 

 Government Bills often get shelved, unless 

 there is strong personal feeling in favor of 

 them in Parliament, or wide public opinion 

 on their side in the country. 



To awaken the people of this country to 

 any sort of enthusiasm on behalf of birds 

 is a superhuman task; but dogged persever- 

 ance will sometimes accomplish wonders, 

 even if the persevering ones are but few in 

 number, — and herein lies our strength. 



How you managed to inspire thousands 

 with real flaming enthusiasm on behalf of 

 birds is to us incomprehensible. In this 

 country it could not be done. 



Please accept our most hearty congratula- 

 tions for what you have done for the birds 

 of the world, and for the birds of all the Ages 

 to come. A copy of our autumn number 

 of Bird Notes and News will shortly reach 

 you, and we hope that you will like it. 

 Very sincerely yours, 



Margaretta L. Lemon. 



A NEW CAMPAIGN IN GERMANY 



Encouraged by the success of the anti-phunage law in 

 the United States, the bird-protectors of Germany are 

 now actively planning an immediate renewal of their war 

 on the feather trade. The subject is by no means new 

 in Germany, and we are glad that our success has 

 afforded substantial encouragement to our co-workers in 

 Germany and elsewhere. 



The following letter, from the leading Society for bird 

 protection in Germany, tells its own story.

September 30, 1913. 

 Dr. William T. Hornaday, 



New York Zoological Park. 

 Sir: 



We beg to express our thanks for your 

 answer to our telegram and for the press 

 bulletin you kindly sent us, and our hearty 

 congratulations on the glorious victory you 

 have won. We do hope that the effect of it 

 will be felt all over the world, and that 

 Germany, too will stop the feather trade. 

 We are very sorry that it was Germany that 

 opposed the clause. Professor Schillings is 

 endeavoring to procure an audience with 

 the Reichskanzler, in which we hope that he 

 will succeed.
