" Chilean independence began on September 18, 1810, when the patriots of Sartiago, now the capital of the republic, deposed the last Spanish captain- general and established a provisional government. Two years later, a choice of national colors was ifiade, bine, white and yellow being selected, the last-named being taken from the flag of Spain. These were the three colors that forined the Chilean banner, which was unfurled at Santiago, by the side of the flag of the Ujiited States, on the Fourth of July, 1812. This banner was accepted as the national standard of Chile until 1817, when, after the victory of Chabuco, which was decisive in giving Chile Its independence, a new tri-color flag, composed of the present red, white' and blue, bnt of a different design, waved over Chile. The permanent national flag dates from October 18, 1817, when, through a decree of the supreme director of Chile, Gen. Bernardo O'Hlggins, It was officially adopted. The lower half of the flag is red, and the upper half white with a blue canton in the upper lefthand corner, occupied by s large flyej> uinted white star. This star is takers i: ohi the pennants used by Chilean Indians in th» past, and also recalls the geographical position of Chile, the most southerly country of tlie Amedean.pontineot; v* ;vV5% Photo by' Worwick MRS.
