NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-It is an nounced in shipping circles here that that four big British freighters, the Georgic, Belerophan, Belgrave and Bayreul are overdue and have not teen reported by any of the steamers travelling the north Atlantic steamer lanes. This leads to the belief ir hipping circles that German raider of the Woewe type is now working in the Atlantic and that the vessels have fallen victims to this commerce raider.
 This is borne out also by reports brought here that a German yes 'el, believed to have been a commerce 1sider, was sighted off the Scotch toast som eweeks ago, and which :,t the time was thought to be Nor wegian vessel, but later proved other wise. Several steamers arriving here have reported that they wee rfollow u Ey a mysterious vessel, but, being more speedy than the pursuer. es capped.
 The missing freighters are all large vessels. ranging from 5000 to 10,0 ''' tons each, and were loaded with food supplies for England.

TAX SUIT CASE GOES
 AGAINST CITY OF VALDEZ

:, In the district court yesterday aft trnoon the cases of Love Whitley Co. vs. Town of Valdez and F. M. Boyle vs. Town of Valdez, were tried before Judge Bunnell. The action was brought to set aside raise in the tax assessment on the property of the plaintiffs by the Board of EQualiza- tion. Following the trial of the cases the court rendered decision in favor of the plaintiffs. In his opinion the court stated that he did not intend, nor was it necessary for him to go into the merits of the increase in the assessment, inasmuch as the only question before the court at the time was the legality of the manner in which the action was accomplished. Section 12 of the tax ordinance of the town of Valdez provides that where an assessment is raised by the Board of Equalization the party or parties owning the property on which the raise is proposed to be made, shall receive one weeks notice to this eff feet. In the present instance the
 Board of Equalization raised the as- sessments without notice to the plain tiffs and few minutes later adjourn ea sine die, affording the plaintiffs no opportunity to resist the change in
 their assessment. On this ground the court held the increase to be invalid.

Still we can't help asking what
makes a man act like that.
Some say it's his hurt egotism
which forces him to indicate his own
precious honor and pride before his
community, at the cost to the wom-
an.
Some say it's a fundamental ele-
mental jealousy which is beyond
mans control.
Some say it's a horrid fatality
that "all men kill the thing they
love-"
1t would be very easy to make sar-
castle and sentimental but maudlin
references to hypocrisy, the methods
of the inquisitiOn, and to the sin Of
turning the pulpit into place for adj
ministering the third degree; and to

the reward which virtue brings.
But let's brush all such fancy lit
erary theories aside.
Speaking frankly, the thing that's
the matter with a man, when he sac
rifices a woman, abuses her, casts her
out, reviles her, beats her, disowns
her, exploits hers just common
masculine gender cussedness.

cess. But without correct diagnosis,
