BY HERBERT TEMPLE, Staff Correspondent The International LONDON,. Dec. 15. Three attempts by German submarines to enter British ports within less than a month have convinced the admiralty officials that the spy system, which has betrayed the military moves, supposed to be known only to high authorities, has also succeed in learning many naval secrets. The officials believe that the submarines would not have dared to

attack ports guarded by mines unless their commanders knew the location of the mines. A thorough investigation is being conducted to ascertain the manner ii which the mines map came Into possession of the enemy. Deeper interest is added to this inquiry by news that on Wednesday morning German submarines made two attacks on the Firth of Forth. A dispatch from Ediuburg reports that two of the German vessels were sunk, but no official an-

nounceemnt to this effect has been ia sued by the admiralty. Naval headquarters maintains the same silence in reference to the Firth of Forth episode as that in reference to the attack on Dover earlier in the week, and on Yarmouth some time ago. The submarine raid at Yarmouth was backed by a squadron of German warships, but practically nothing has been allowed to appear in the papers about it. It certainly gave the admir

alty and war office a shock. When Lord Kitchener was told of the raid.

he was rung up at his residence almost before he was out of bed he gave orders for every official in the war office to remain indoors until he arrived. When the secretary did arrive" he had maps of the whole of the east coast brought before him and spent the morning studying them. No one was allowed to disturb him. Then he sent for Winston Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, and the two were closeted together for several hours.

HENS STOP WORK; EGG PRICE JUMPS . Produce Companies and Gro

cers Pay 32 to 35 Cents for

Eggs. "The American hen is the most Independent living thing, and must belong to the union," said an official of

a local produce company today. "If the warm weather had continued another week, the hens would have started to 'lay but this cold weather has knocked the notion clear out of their heads."

The buyers for the company say that there are fewer eggs in the country than they have ever known at this time of year. It was said, that a further egg shortage would hardly affect the price in Richmond, as it ws already as high as the people would stand. The price may go higher. The produce company is paying 32 cents and 34 cents a dozen for eggs in the country, while a leading grocer of

the city said that he was offering 35 cents a dozen for fresh eggs, but not getting any. The price to the consumer for the same eggs is 40 cents a dozen. -."'" Storage eggs are selling high, and grocers are asking 35 cents a dozen for them. ? f ' Farmers .,( say that a sudden cold wave such as is passing over the

country at the present time, affects

INMATES OF FARM TAKE DAY TO HUNT Residents of Putnam county are Interested iti the play as well as the work of the twenty-four prisoners from the Michigan City penitentiary
