LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10.-Federal grand jury investigation of charges of illegal arrest and detention of three men by army intelligence officers was begun today at the direction of Judge B. r. Bledsoe of the United States district court, who termed the army procedure in the cases "a high handed outrage" during habeas corpus pro ceedings yesterday.
 Attemps to arrive at the facts in open court failed today when Nicholas Senn Zogg ahd Charles Draper, two of the men held by the army without warrant or any legal procedure, ac- cording to their allegations, refused to testify when taken before Judge Bled- soc They demanded counsel.
 Immediately afterward both men were arraigned before D. NJ. Ham, mack, United States commissioner. for alleged violation oY neutrality laws and were held in default of S2,000 bail each Norbert A. Myles, the third man. whose arrest and detention precipi tated a clash between federal officers and the army intelligence officers, was re-arrested by army officers yes terday after Judge Bledsoe released him under habeas corpus proceedings. Myles was held under s2,00O bail un- der the espionage act.
 Seven grand jury subpoenaes were issued today, it was said. for the prin- cipals in the controversy.
 It was the contention of the three men in custody and of federal off cials that army intelligence officers caused the arrest of the men without warrant and held them without filing charges.
 A development of <he day was the announcement of ]. Robert O'Connor, United States attorney, that his res ignation had been demanded because of suspicion that he was connected with the plot to export munitions. The demand. O'Connor said, was accom- panied by a threat that if he failed to resign he would be arrested. It was made. he declared, by man known to him as J. c.

 AMSTERDAM, Jan. 10.-Comment- ing on President Wilson's address, the Nord Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung (Berlin), says:
 The IA points do not form a pro- gram for world peace, but real sym phony of will to no peace. Beginning with his joyful fanfare of freedom of the seas and other things, on which the whole world Is agreed, even if diversity of opinion exists regarding the method of realization. Mir. Wilson's interven- ton is not wanted. Having the oppor tunity of serving peace, he has not only failed, but has clearly expressed con- trary intention.
 Appealing to the self determination of nations he plans to interfere in the internal affairs of Austria Hungary and proclaims the policy of doing vio- fence to nations with disregard for all historical and racial facts.
 With equal nonchalance, he finds reason for the partition of Turkey such as could only be voiced by a man whose policy aims at playing off, one against another, of peoples and parts of peoples who belong together and are conscious of their homogeneity."
 The Kolnische Volks Zeitung says:
 President Wilson's program sub- stantially squares with Lloyd Georges It is as unacceptable for us as is the British and is more brutal still than that of Lloyd George. He demands the severance from the German empire of Alsace- Lorraine, which is nine- tenths inhabited by Germans and he undis- guisedly demands the severance from the empire of parts of Prussia inhab- ited by the Poles"
 The Berliner Lokal Anzeiger in ar article under the heading:
 "Ententes wire puller.' speaks oi the unbranded impudence with which the leading statesmen of the multiple alliance deceive the whole world"

Cabinet Leader Speaks

LONDON, Jan. 10.-Arthur Hender- son, former labor representative in the British war cabinet interviewed today by The Associated Press regarding President Wilson's speech to congress said:
 Coming as it does, so soon after Premier Lloyd Georges speech and the labor party's war aims memorandum, President Wilson's message must eupe- dite peace negotiations unless Germany has hardened her heart and has de- cided to oppose all movements which make .fer the interests of democracy.
 While we found the premier in his speech met the expressed of la Dor in most every respect, it is fair to say that he was not quite as cordial toward 'the present Russian govern ment as he might have been. President Wilson's outstretched hand leaves no room for doubt in Russian minds. He says:

 President Wilson's address, says the Manchester Guardian. was partly a strong affirmation and partly a sup plement to, even a correction of, Pre- mier Lloyd Georges statement, which contained no word of sympathy for the fight the Russian government is mak- ing on behalf of the liberties of peoples and the right of the provinces which German and Austrian armies are over running to determine their own politi- cal future. The Guardian says the whole situation of the Russian people has moved MT. Wilson deeply; that he sees that every principle in defense of which America entered the war is in- volved in the struggle which the Rus sian government is carrying on against desperate odds. Great Britain's power to aid may be limited, but her sym pathy need not be.

In northern Italy snow has fallen to a depth of from three to five feet bring ing operations to a halt. The move ment of supplies to lne enemy armies in the hills is being greatly impeded and the indications at present are that fighting of great intensity will be inn possible while the snow lies on the ground.
 Unofficial dispatches dealing with the deliberations between the Bol- sheviki and the Teutonic allies at Brest Litovsk indicate that for the present peace is not being discussed, but that the proposition of the Bol- sheviki to change the scene of the ne- gotiations to Stockholm is the para mount issue. Trozky, the Bolshevik foreign minister, is said to have threatened the delegates of the cen tral powers that if they do not accede to his request for a transfer of the pour parlers to Sweden the voice of | their own people anu the strong arm of the Russian democracy will be felt by them. The German delegates in Petrograd have requested Sweden tC act as go-between with the allies.
