consul at New York that he would be
obliged to report in New York at
once and sail for France and rejoin
his regiment. Father Chatagnon re-

the French consul stated that only
those infected with tuberculosis or a
similar disease would be exempted
from service. After Father Chatagnon
he'd served his required time in the
army, the term was raised, and when he
was studying in Baltimore for the
priesthood he was notified. to return. He
could not do so at the time, and he
was consequently classified as a mill
