Sister Rose Gertrude, the young English
woman who was to nurse the lepers at No
lokai, in letter to her friends here says
that she has not given up her desire to help
the lepers, but that the health board of Mo-
lokai had refused TO sustain her, and the
hospital surgeon, DIR. Lutz, in controversy
with one of the under nurses, had nulliied
any influence she might have had. She
therefore felt that it was better for her to re-
sign. She denies the rumor that she is to
marry DIR. Lutz, and says she will return to
Europe as soon as possible.
