May No Longer Permit Southern Neghbor in Her Own Way

Washington. July 13---Informatfon
obtained from the state department
today justifies the assertion that the
policy of '-watchful waiting with re-
spect to Mexico Is about TO end.
THE United States no longer will
permit Mexico, in her own way and
in her own time. to take such action
as will effectively safeguard the lives
and property of other nationals In
Mexico. The Mexican government
has been told that 1t will be expected
to take such steps as may be necessary
to guarantee that result and take them
without any unnecessary delay.
Thus far there has been no threat
OF consequence In the event that
Mexico fails to meet the expectations
OF the United States and other nations
in establishing orderly conditions. but
the representations made are UNDER

a character that there 10 no possible

A vast deaf has been said about the
licensing OF n. NJ. SHIELD, OF the H.

poses. This license was not granted
by the department. OF prohibition but
by the hastings court Of the city Of

the recommendation Of the commits

number Of responsible citizens OF the
city testified that Mr.. SHIELD was q

sentiai for medicinal purposes. yet
many physicians in the city of Rich
mond and the surrounding territory
held different views and urged upon
the commissioner the advisaoility OF
endorsing the licensing of some repu-
table druggist in that city by whom
prescriptions, given by physicians of
unQuestioned standing in their pro-
fession, could be filled without unne-
cessary delay
: Accordingly, the application of Mr..
Fl. NJ SHIELD. who It was understood
was the only druggist in the city ap-
plying for such a license, received the
approval OF the commissioner, and, the
hastings court considering this APP
prevail and other satisfactory endorse
ments. issued the license in July, 1915
All of the liquor sold by Mr.. SHIELD was
purchased in Baltimore by permit or
from the department Of prohibition at
the market rates for such grades of
liquor prevailing from time to time in
the markets OF Baltimore. Just as all
of the other druggists In Virginia IL
censed to fill prescriptions for ardent
spirits purchased their supply. Every
penny received by the department
from him and all other druggists whom
he supplied was paid into the treasury
of the state OF Virginia according to
the prohibition law, and Is there a
matter OF record which may be In
spected by any citizen. All OF the pro-
ceeds from this fund are by the con-
stitution OF the state turned over to
the literary fund for the support Of
the public schools. Every drop Of
such liquor dispensed by Mr.. Shield
was reported to this department, and
