EXEMPTION OF PRIESTS AND MARIST BROTHERS.
A STATEMENT AND A CONTRADICTION. Napier, July 23. At St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Napier, cm Sunday, one of the visiting clergy, evidently under a misapprehension, made a statement to the effect that the 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 as result of this deeision a, number of students at; Groenmcadows would shortly be made clerics, and further that this slcji in their vocational training had been delayed until a decision was arrived at. Inquiries jnade at the Catholic Presbytery this morning by a reporter show that there is no authority for the above statement, which was, so far as is known by the Catholic clergy in Napier, without foundation. “So far as we know,” said one of the reverend fathers, there was no foundation for the statement. To us it appears-to.be altogether incorrect. The statements were apparently made under a misaiJprehension.”
