HERRICK APPROVES HENRY.
No Formal Complaint About Officers

WASHINGTON. sept. 6.-Great interest
was aroused here to-day by dispatches
from Europe accusing Major Morton j.
Henry, L. :. a. OF failure to look after
the interests OF the American refugees
arriving at Havre from London. Major
Henry was the member of the army relief
corps assigned to that port. Secretary
OF War Garrison is out OF town and none
OF the higher army officers would COM
ment on the press dispatches. II the
reported charges are laid by refugees
formally before the Department. as now
seems likely, Secretary Garrison will I'M
medlately order a complete investigation.
The Secretary believes, however. that
the officers now abroad are engaged In
difficult work and that the state of mind
of the American refugees is such that they
are very prone to make charges and ac-
cusations without n full realization Of the
difficulties the Government officials have
faced An incident of the sort occurred
several days ago when refugees from
Italian ports were loud in their condem-
nation of the alleged failure Of the Cow
eminent officials to take steps To- aid them.
When they were informed by an official OF
the state Department what had actually
been done in their behalf resolutions were
passed thanking the Secretary and State
Department officials for their relief work.

duty would De condoncd under any cir

tigated He will have a full opportunity

Ambassador Iierrlck AT Paris asked to-
day that Major Henry be detailed TO look
after the Americans remaining In the
French capital This incident was cited
as evidence that the Ambassador at any
rate believed that Major Henry's service
were valuable and will bo glad to hav,

WARRINGTON. Sept 6-That the Demo-
cratic majority in Congress intends to in
crease the rates of tho income tax as a
means of raising a part OF tho additional
revenues needed because of the curtall-
ment OF customs became known here to-
day II is understood that President Will
son is in favor OF resorting to the income
tax in the present emergency.
II the rates OF the income tax are in
creased as AN emergency measure IL Is
doubtful whether they will be lowered
after the war is oyer. for the income tax
law thus far has been a disappointment as
a revenue producer.
1t was estimated by the President in
his message to Congress that the emcr-
gency revenue act would have to yield
500. 100000. Part OF this will be raised
by levying additional imposts on whiskcy,
beer. wines and other subjects of excise
taxation. As matter of political ex-
pediency the Democratic leaders have
practically abandoned all thought of COLI
