 Urges a General Strike. FOOD SUPPLIES ARE
 CAUSING TROUBLE Soldiers Urged Not to Sur render Arms Until Food
 Question is Settled.

The Hague, Wednesday, Nov. 13- The second chamber of the Dutch parliament engaged in bitter debate today. Addresses were made de- nouncing demands made by Pieter J. Trielstra, that the premier give fur ther details as to expected food SUD- plies from the United States.
 David Wynkoop. the revolutionary socialist, demanded the immediate abdication of the queen and urging general strike. He proposed that demobilized troops should refuse to surrender control of the armies until they were assured of food supplies for themselves and families. He re- marked, incidentally, that Troelstra and his adherents were on the side of the Bourgeoisie, just as Schedide- mann and Ebert are in Germany.

The purpose of the meetings was to arrange the details of the with drawals of the Germans across the Rhine and to discuss questions rela- tive to railroads, rivers, canals and telegraph and telephone service.
 The Germans gave information eonceEning the different systems of communication and the destruction effected or planned by the Germans. The British and Belgians dealt with the territory limited by the Dutch Belgian and the Dutch-German from tiers, the Rhine and the line of Co., blenz. The French and Americans discussed the region south of Char leroi and Bonn to southern Alsace. mary discussions concerning the handing over of the German fleet were held tonight at Rosyth, on the Firth of Forth, Scotland, between Ad- rniral Sir David Beatty and delegates of the German soldiers and sailors council and German Vice Admiral Meurer.
 When the cruiser Koenigsberg, which brought the German delegates, was 50 miles off the Isle of May, on the Scottish coast, this afternoon, 1t was met by British vessels which es- corted 1t to RoAyth. The preliminaries so far have been carried out without hitch and 1t is not expected the Germans will quibble over the details.

 OF ARMISTICE

Paris. Nov. 16, 4:S5 a. m.-"Field Marshal von Hindenburg in his mes sage to the German army said the threat of famine caused the accept ance of armistice," says Marcel Hutin of the Echo De Paris. Although food difficulties played part in the defeat of Germany, the determining cause of the German collapse was the fact that the enemy's army was on the brink of disaster.
 "The first words the German pleni- potentiaries said to Marshal Foch were, In substance: 'Germany's army is at your mercy, Marshal. Our re- serves of men and munitions are com pletely exhausted, making it impossi- ble for us to continue the war"
