 The movement, known as "Heraus les Boches," developed spontaneously with big parade here recently and since then the property of some Ger man merchants has been attacked.
 "Heraus les Boches" placards have been displayed in many shop windows. The term, a combination of German and French, is meant to express the sentiment, Out with the Germans"

VOLCANIC HEAT
 SUPPLY POWER FOR INDUSTRY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 (by Associ- ated Press) Italy, forced by the enormous prices for imported coal is turning attention towards the utilization of the latent power of the country's volcanic area, according to advices received by the Italian em- bassy.
 This idea of exploiting the natural heat emitted from the soil in the vol canic regions seemed a dream at first thought, but already it has been de- veloped to considerable importance. Successful experiments have been con- ducted in the past and today Lader- |ello in Tuscany has heating plant of 16,000 horsepower in operation with out interruption and distributing cleo tciS current to Florence, Livorno and Grosseto. Its capacity, it is planned will be increased.
 
 power were made some years before the war by Prince Ginori-Conti at Larderello, near the salt mines of Vol terra, a region extensively covered with volcanic vents emitting power. full jets of hot steam containing boric @salts and various gases used in the extraction of boracis acid.
 Instead of limiting the use of these steam jets to extracting the salts con. tained in the exalations, one of these natural vapor vents, the ejected of the steam is simulated by boring holes. In this way it has been possible to ob tain jets at a pressure of 30 to 45 pounds per square inch and in some instances as high as 75 pounds per square inch, the temperature varying from 15O to 165 degress centigrade
 In 1905, Prince Ginori-Con applied this natural steam to a 40-horsepoweI engine, using only small section of the Nenalla Assure, the ejected steam from which a pressure of 75 pounds per square inch was secured. Seven years later another experiment was successful with a 3O0-horsepower tur. bine-aIternator of 5000 kilowatts in each, these being fed by boilers at a low pressure heated by the natural steam, superheated to 165 degress cen digrade.
 The natural steam has been used thus far only for heating because it ContalHs substances, among them sul- phuric acid, which corrodes metals particularly iron.
