EXEMPTION OF PRIESTS AND MARIST BROTHERS
4 _ A STATEMENT AND A CONTJIADIC TION. ! (By Tclcgrauh-Snccial Correspondent.) I Napier, July 2U. At St. Patrick's Cathedral, Napier, on Sunday, ono of tho visiting clergy, evidontly under a misapprehension, made a" statement to the effect that tho Government had given its assurance that priests and Marist Brothers and theological students would not be conscripted under the Military Service Act, and that as a. result of this decision a number of students at Green meadows would shortly bo made clerics, and further that this step in their vocational training had been delayed until a decision was arrived at. Inquiries made at tho Catholic Presbytery f>is morning by a reporter show ' that there is no authority for the above statement, which was, so far as is known by tho Catholic clergy in Napier, without foundation. "So far as we know," said ono of the reverend fathers, there was no foundation for the statement. To Uβ it appears to l>o altogether incorrect. Tho statements were apparently mado under a misapprehension."
