 At midnight Ludendorff re- iterated.
 "The offer of peace must be transmitted immediately from Berne to Washington. The army cannot wait another 4S hours"
 Ludendorff had lost his head. The German general staff had collapsed. For the army which could not wait another 4S hours continued to fight for another six weeks.

 Marshal Foch answered:

The reason being that search of the records of the fire department shows that both Mrs. OLeary and the COW had retired an hour before the firse started, and had nothing to do with starting the blaze, although 1t did start in the O'Leary COW she'd
 These records show that there was a rumor at the time that neighbors had slipped into the barn to milk the COW for materials for an oyster stew or a milk punch, and another that bunch of boys fro mthe neighbor- hood were smoking in the barn.
 A broken lamp was found in the ruins of the barn the day after the fire. This gave rise to the report, now become a legend, that Mrs. OLeary had gone to the barn in the evening carrying a lamp and the COW, piqued at her being disturbed. had kicked her mistress, who dropped the lamp, and the big doings were on.
 Abso1ved From Blame
 The fire department investigators learned that Mrs. O'Leary had a sore foot on the day of the fire and had retired at S:30 that evening It was deemed unlikely that she would have arisen and gone to the barn after the chores were all done, especially with sore foot, hence she was ab- solved from blame. But the popular rumor outran the official records and the things best remembered about the great disaster are Mrs. O'Leary and her COW.
 Two men who later headed the Chicago fire department were mem- bers of the first engine company, No 6. to arrive at the fire. They were William Musham, who was foreman of the company. and John Champion. assistant foreman. Both later be- came fire marshal.

His hands a shuttle, each letter a

Story ne'er ending, but ever goes on
A new weaver when the, old one is
