fleet.
 Colonel Cuthbert M. Headlam. parliamentary secretary to the ad- miralty, said his department was not possessed of sufficient informa- tioE to enable him to answer the question and refused 10 comment. Information in other quarters in- dicated that the affair was a squab- ole of some sort among the officers which was technically construed as insubordination The Daily Mail to- day said only two officers were con- way to England, although not un- der arrest.
 Something Unpleasant
 Navy men do not doubt, that something unpleasant happened but they think Commander Belairs gave an exaggerated version of the incident, They do not believe there was any court martial.
 No names were mentioned in parliament. The navy list shows Rear Admiral Beernard St. G. Col lard in command of the battleship squadron and Captain Kenneth De war in command of the Royal Oak.

(By Herald Rev!ewer)

(by Her1id Heriewer) No one except George NJ. Cohan would ever have conceived of a Pekinese bringing two homes to the verge of dissolution and an engage ment to the point where Cupid is on the point of entering MT. Rick ards heavyweight elimination con- test. Mir. Cohan's latest comedy or perhaps Mir. Cohan has produced another since last evening-is ap- bearing at Parsons theater, Hart ford, for the remainder of the week. It is called "The Baby Cyclone" and it is all of that. and slightly more.
 This Is the play which ran for seven months in New York and sev- eral more in Boston, The New York cast, with Grant Mitchell featured. is intact. There are plays that make you happy. there are plays that make you sad. there are plays which convulse you with laughter. The Baby Cyclone" is in the last category, Speeded up to the Cohan tempo, it runs a riot of laughter from curtain to curtain. It Is an express of fun stopping at no way stations.
 Occasionally a play comel along in which the featured player IS the sole attraction. Not so with this one. Edith Luckett, Spencer Tracy. Nata- lie M ~orhead. Joseph Allen. William Norris and Georgia Caine have as much to do as MT. Mitchell and do it equally as we'll. For a prolonged spell in the second act last night Mir. Allen threatened to stop the show with his impersonation of a New York policeman who couldn't be 'kidded." Miss Luckett plays the part of a hysterical wife whose life and love are concentrated on her Poke. MT. Tracy is her husband. whose life and love have been wrecked by the animal. Miss Moor head, in the role of Mir. Mitchell's fiancee, is in love with the same pup and MT. Mitchell is determined that no dog shall be brought into his home-and the engagement goes bang.
 Altogether 1t Is a rolIicking show which very nearly comes up to the goal of all comedy writers-a laugh in every line.
 "The Baby Cyclone" will be re- peated tonight and tomorrow nigh, with a matinee tomorrow.
