UNION OF CHURCHES
SUBJECT At SESSION
Methodists Hope to Bring North
And South Factions Into
One Body
From Mondays Daily.

Unification or the Methodist
churches of the north and south was
one of the most important topics for
discussion at the general conference
of Methodist Episcopal churches held
in Saratoga, New York, from which
Rev. G. A. Cahoon, and DIR. F. A. Cone
returned last Saturday. Steps were
taken toward the realization of the
plan, and it lis hoped to consummate it
at an adjourned meeting to be held in
1918. Among other important things
done the Home Mission Board was
re-organized, and the provisions of the
ritual were submitted to the board of
bishops. In regard to the labor ques-
ton the conference refused to re-
organize the preferential shop.
One of the chief items of local
interest was the election as bishop of
REV. G. b. Mitchell, pastor of ST.
James church of Chicago, who will
now serve as bishop at St. Paul. Rev.
Mitchell is well known here, and
delivered an address at the district
convention held in North Mankato
year ago. The Mankato men visited
number of important points of interest
in the east, and while at Washington
were shown many courtesies by Con-
gresham Ellsworth.

that all civilians in Germany will be
ordered to abstain from meat for the
next eight weeks. This does not in

meat. But, for the present those who
are not fighting must go without it.
Temporary Scarcity of Meat.
The German food dictator said that
this order did not mean any serious
food shortage in Germany. 1t simply
meant temporary scarcity of meat.
The new order did not mean that
there was any cause for alarm of
starvation in Germany Nor did it
give the enemies of Germany any
reason for exultation. The food die
tator declared that starvation in Ger

He said the meat shortage in Ger

One of the Big Bears SavageIy
Bites Lyman Robinson
CLAWS THE MANS FLESH
Superintendent Staley Prevents
Beast From Staying His Un-
fortunate Victim
From NeSday's Daily.

Lyman Robinson, an employe at
Sibley park for many years past, now
lies in Immanual hospital seriously
injured, having been bitten and torn
by one of the bears in the Zoo yester-
day morning, when he went in the
cage to give the animal its breakfast
Mr.. Robinson, who makes his home
with his SON. law and daughter,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. Swan on North Front
street, has been in rather delicate
health the past winter, but feeling
better this spring, and being an
ambitious man and very industrious in
spite of his seventy-three years, he
was spending busy days at the park,
his duties being to keep the plants and
shrubbery in good condition, and the
beautiful flowers testifying to his
careful work.
Had Attended the Animals.
In former years he had also at
tended to the animals at times, but
had given this up, and William Hoy
has been in charge of the animals.
Yesterday morning Mr. Hoy asked Mr.
Robinson to take his place and give
the animals their breakfast, which he
consented to do. Park Superintendent
Staley was just outside the bears
cage as Mr.. Robinson entered to feed
the bear. Perhaps angered by the
entrance Of a different man than the
one who had regularly brought the
breakfast the bear jumped savagely
upon the old man, tearing his side,
and biting cruelty into the fieshy part
of his leg above the knee.
Sta!ey to His Assistance.
Mr. Staley rushed to the assistance
of the unfortunate man, and he broke
away from the bears clutches, and
together they escaped from the cage
and locked the beast in Mr.. Robinson
collapsed from the pain of his in
juries, and was taken to the hospital
at once, where a physician was sum
moned who made him as comfortable
as possible. Mrs. Swan was greatly
shocked when she received a tele-
phone message stating that her faith
er was in the hospital, having been
badly bitten by the bear, as he had
left her in a bright and cheerful mood
only short time before. She FASTENED
to the hospital to give what aid she
could, and find out the extent of his
injuries. Mr.. Robinson was bitten by
one of the bears at the park when he
attended the animals a number of
years ago, but not seriously. His
present injuries may heal, however, if
no complications set in.
Recovery Is Expected.
DIR. G. A. Dahl, the attending ply
stefan, stated this afternoon that al
though Mr.. Robinson was bruised and
wrenched and very lame from his
struggle with the bear in addition to
his other injuries, he was resting
quite well late today, and his recovery
is expected, although he will not be
able to work for a long time Two of
his ribs on the right side were found
to be broken, and the deep cash in his
right leg is surrounded by other minor
gashes. Mr.. Robinson is fortunate that
he escaped from the enraged animal
with no worse results.

tai railroads. In the early sixties and
previous to that our country was looked
upon as an experiment. now we are a
world power, honored and respected by
all nations of the world. At the time of
the Civil war we had foreign pos

the inheritance given us by those who
lived and died for their country, let us
therefore honor them, but let that honor
be perpetual honor"

The food dictator said he thought
the shortage would be likely to con-

but it would be relieved by the growth
of grass in the German pastures, where
the cattle could find an abundance of
food, and the meats on the German
market would soon be increasing in
