GERMAN PRIESTS
MILITARY SERVICE CALLED UP BY AUTHORITIES (Rcc. 11.30 pirn.) JtONDON, Aug. 28. The Lisbon correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says the Vatican is almost completely cut off from news of the Catholic Church in Germany. The Nazis have stopped the normally frequent journey of German prelates and student priests to Rome, and 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 a desire to prevent leakage of news of internal conditions in Germany, especially the results of British bombings.
