VATICAN CUT OFF FROM GERMANY
Priests’ Visits To Rome Stopped
(Received August 28, 10.30 p.m.) LONDON, August 28,
Tlie "Daily Telegraph’s” Lisbon coricspondeut says tlie Vatican is almost completely cut off from news of the Catholic Church in Germany. The Nazis stopped the normally frequent journeys of the German prelates and student priests to Rome. The German military authorities are calling up German priests studying in Rome and making them ordinary soldiers, not chaplains.
The principal reason for the Nazi ban on clerical visitors to Rome is the desire to prevent the leakage of news of internal conditions in Germany, specially the results of the British bombings.
