and elegant and crowded with the fin-

garments. Tho thcatcr stage held many
canvas scenes and drop curtains which
were necessarily inflammable ana
added heat to tho flames. Only a year
or two ago the opera house seats had
been renewed ut large expense. On
the upper gallery was the housing Of
the moving picture lighting machinery
with costly electric apparatus
The Opera House stood across tho
alley from the Pueblo federal building
and postoffico but separated by small
park space in addition to the 16-foot
alley. On the top of tho federal build
Ing literally in tho heat OF the flame
were the outdoor appliances of the
local weather bureau.
Only last year n hard fought law
suit over tho lease of the theater was
pending In the district court for many
months.
The original roof of the opera house.
made of Spanish tiles. was completely
cut to ribbons by the lcmon-sizc hail
stones during the great August hail
storm of about fifteen years ago and
much interior damage followed by the
inpouring of rain following the hail.
Many persons of national reputation
have appeared before the Pueblo public
on the opera house stage one of tho most
notable being Robert Peary discovercr
OF the north pole with several of his
finest dogs. when he was on his last
stereopucon trip earning money to paw
the expenses of the dash to the top OF
the world.
For half an hour the pyramid tiled
roof of the tall square tower, un-
touched by the firemen's streams, made
brilliant blaze throwing up n wonder
ful amount of flame for SO small a
structure. Even the flag pole stood up
hravely In tho persistent sheet OF
flamc. At last, still intact the roof
slipped from the supports of red ston.
pillars and pitched toward the south
cast at 1:s0 o'clock.

THE SALVATION ARMY FLAG
Now Proudly Flies in Severity Three
ti& Countries. t.t.%

The Salvation Army has its flag
not a flag for any particular nation
Ct Is the same flag that waves in
Sydney, In Vladivostok, MOSCOW,
Madagascar and Honolulu) 73
countries. 1t waves everywhere, and
the only difference in the flag that
waves in these places and those that
wave I'm any city Of our own country
during the holding of services Is that
the other flags have their own Ian
gtage for the words, "Blood and
fire." meaning the two rites neces-
sary for redemption-the shedding
Of blood and the principle Of sacri-
flee thus exemplified, and the cleans
ing with fire as prophesied In Saint
Matthew
"A flag Is not looked upon as
piece of cloth or pretty coloring. II
this were so no nation would be CO.
herent to the extent they now are.
In fact, all nations must have their
emblems Of national spirit. The
oceans Of khaki-clad boys who passed
eastward during the war never cre-
ated the enthusiasm to q climax
until their flag foated by.
In Confederate reunion in re-
mote country town in Alabama not
many years ago O. tottering old vet
eran, sitting beside his wife, driving
the one horse to the rustic wagon,
slowly moved into the little country
town to meet his former war pals
and was almost Unconditional in pass
ing the former "boys," but suddenly
there was arised on his right an old
Confederate flag, and dimly 1t re-
tlected itself in the faded eyes Of the
old gentleman. Though fettered with
age and rheumatism, and crippled,
he became superhuman and rose in
his wagon, and, as not before in
year, yelled piercingly. It was the
flag, the symbol, the emblem supe-
rior to man himself-jthe all-in-all to
him at one time-the one thing life
became secondary to.
The Salvation Army flag, though
dirty and old perhaps, is the symbol
of the blood and fire that stimulated
Its followers on to sacrifice of life
