Assistant Secretary of Labor W. W. Husband, told the Cancaisu Press yesterday that the status of Canadians in tne United States would remain after that date as it is except that by effectuation of an amendment to the naturalization act, those who entered the country without registration prior to 1924 will have an opportunity to legally establish their residence. The amendment provides thay persons who entered the country five or more years ago without registration may by affidavit or otherwise prove their entrance. Such proof would permit. them to freely re-enter the United States after absence from the country. The secretary said that the im- migration authorities whose duties have been increased and compli- cated from time to time by new legislation were pelased at being able to put into effect a law which would be of benefit to the immi- grant, He made it clear, however, tnat a reported exodus of Canadians from various points in the United States to Canada for the purpose of obtaining proper papers for en- try was far from displeasing to the immigration department. The. Department has now for some time been enforcing the amendment to the Deportation Act. This amendment makes deporta- tion a bar from the United States for life. It makes re-entrance a- ter deportation a disdemeanor pro- viding for a jail sentence or fine and second re-entrance a felony with a jail sentence of six years ad a possible penalty.

Villages Are Deserted by Panic Stricken Peasants F leeing From Vesuvius { Naples, Italy, June 6Esplosive activity in the eruptive cone of Mount Vesuvius increased today with tremendous barrages of rocks and ashes bombarding the walls of the great crater. There was a slight subsiding in the flow of lava however, An official bulletin from the Vesu- vius Observatory said further dan- ger probably would be avoided, yet it} concluded : "But" the life' of" volcanos is so mysterious that one cannot judge the outcome from the appearances of the moment." Villagers around the southern and castern base of the volcano were panic stricken as they deserted their homes, the ruins of Pumpeii, des- troyed 19 centuries before, always mute testimony of what Vesuvius could do. Trudging behind their two-wheel- cd carts which carried household cffects and all their worldly posses- sions, they prayed they might be 'the wrath of Vesu- vius,' 'and sang hymns of trust and faith in providence. The erstwhile busy little village of Terzigno' appeared becoming encir- cled with a belt of lava from a flow which first started toward Campitello woods but somehow changed its course and entered the village itself.

Forest Fires Under Control Cranberry "Portage Saved from Complete Des- truction -- -- The Pas, Man., June 6~~A sud- den lull in the wind, combined with the battle of men against the roar- ing flames of a forest fire, has saved Cranberry Portage, pictur- esque mining town, 50 miles north of the Pas, from complete destruc- tion. At an early hour this morning, reports from Cranberry said tho flames were being held in check after an heroic struggle on the part of miners and prospectors, under the direction of forest rangers, but danger still threatened. The fire still was raging, and if a stiff wind again comes up from the northeast the remaining buildings in the town would be endangered. Tuesday, the fire, fanned into a raging inferno by a terrific north- east wind, swept into the new town- site of Cranberry and within a few minutes had destroyed half a hun- dred busines sbuildings and dwell- ings, and rendered 200 people homeless. All day Wednesday it threatened the old site and only the fortunate lull in the wind and the mighty battle of the begrimea fighters kept the flames behind the fire guards hastily constructed. Another Manitoba frontier town, Mile 83, on the Hudson Bay Rail- way, suffered from fire devastation Wednesday, but forest flames ~ere not responsible for this calamity. | Fire starting in a private residence swept to adjoining structures and before it was brought under, fifteen dwellings and stores had been. de- Japanese Ship Reported Lost "Reaches Port Soviet Authorities Say Re- port Was Circulated to Stop Recruiting Crews (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) London, June 6.--A ditpateh to the Exchange Telegraph Company from Tokyo said the Japanese steamer Ugo Maru, had arrived at Kamchatka, Siberia.

Will Pay Attention to the Development of Aviation Engines New York, June 6--"General Mo- tors has acquired the Allison Engin: eering Co, of Indianapolis, Ind., in its entirety," says a statement issued by Alfred J. Sloan, Jr, president of the General Motors corporation.

As for the future, it will be the purpose of General Motors to intensify and ex- pand this company's operations es- pecially along the lines indicated." Rumors had been persistent for scveral days previous to the effect that such a move was probable. Par- ticular color was given the rumors by the fact that Capt. E. V. Ricken- backer, assistant sales manager of the Cadillac Motor Car Co, in charge of LaSalle sales, was known to be heavily interested in the Allison com- pany. It has also been intfinated that other General Motors execu- tives had investments in. the In- dianapolis firm. Attempts to find information in In- dianapolis met uniformly with the suggestion that requests for such in- formation be directed to Mr. Sloan. The office of the General Motors president, however, made no state- ment until late that quoted above was given out a few days ago. About a month ago, Capt. Ricken- backer announced that the Allison Engineering Co. would at once begin work on an addition and improve- ments costing $1,000,000, Upon com- pletion, it was said, 1000 men were to be employed in the making of patented process ball bearings, gears, superchargers and airplane engines.

Two emergency boilers were being set up, from which workmen will try, to force a blanket of steam against the blazing column. Drillers struck gas yesterday at 2,600 feet, and it was while setting au inside casing, preparatory to tap ping off the well, that a spark, cither from clashing casing metal, or the friction of pressure touched off see« page gas.
