Roosevelt Sends Message to Progressives WILL TARE "ACTIVE PART" Mexican Revolt Spreads Madtro Says Americans Sat', but Forecast Is Intervention (Special to tho Evening Review). XKW YORK, Feb. 8. Theodore Roosevelt, through Alexander Moore, publisher of the Pittsburg Leader, announced today that he would take an active part in the coming Presi dential campaign. He sent the fol lowing message to the progressives: "I don't believe my bitterest ene my will say that I ever was a de serter. You can say to the progres sives that I will not desert their cause, and that they will And me fighting side by side with them to a finish." MAIIF.KI) MIXIMIZF.S RI-'.VOLT; SAYS AMF.RICANS NAFK. NEW YORK. Ken. 8. "American Interests have nothing to fear." This la the substance of a reassuring tele gram received by the I'nited Press today from President Madero at Mexico City. Madero continued, saying that the Chihuahua troubles were merely mutinies of undisci plined soldiers without a political goal. He expects -in a few days to restore tranquility. Orozco Talks Like Putrlnt. Answering charges that he Is un loyal. General Orozco, one of the chief figures in placing Madero in power, has wired the I'nited Press from Chihuahua saving that state Is displaying discontent because Ma dero had not carried out promises made during the revolution and for that reason they believed him in capable of ruling the country. Oror co reserves his personal opinion of the matter, but concluded by saying he would die for his government. VAKI'; TO AMERICANS FORE SHADOWS INTF.RVKNTIOX. WASHINGTON'. Feb. 8. High Government officials today said tne State Department was preparing to wa-n Americans to leave Mexico in teli.-f that their lives were endan gered there. Diplomats here believe the announcement that Madero Is nbout to ask the assistance of the i'nited Slates in restoring order and that Tuft will comply with the re quest. This, it Is believed, is the underlying cause of the reported warning, as the rebels would not overlook the opportunity to destroy the lives of Americans or their prop erty In case Intervention came.

Calls Reporters In to Tell Them Whjr He Has Keen Silent; Reads Lincoln Letter to Them. NEW YORK, Feb. 7. Breaking his silence of months on political matters. Colonel Roosevelt "contrib uting editor," today assembled the reporters In the main office ot the Outlook and pointed out extracts from the letters and speeches of Abraham Lincoln, saying they had a peculiar application to his own position now. Roosevelt rerused to discuss the significance of his talk with the re porters at this time, but evidently In tended to give the impression that he Is remaining silent as to bis own program with the view of keeping ammunition from those he referred to as "the enemy." Shows Lincoln Letter. "This is a Brat class in applied de cent politics." said Roosevelt when the newspapermen were lined up. You have noticed, young gentlemen, that I have frequently told you that I had nothing to say for publication. But 1 want to read you the following letter, written by Lincoln In 1860. to C. F. McNeil: " 'I have made this explanation to you as a friend; but I wish no ex planation made to our enemies. What they waut Is a squabble and fuss. They can have It If we explain, and they caunot have It if we don't.' " Colonel Roosevelt referred to criti cisms of him because he had enter tained prominent labor leaders at the White House, and read Lincoln's re ply to a committee of the working men's association of New York, de fending labor. Then he read an ex tract from a letter written by Lincoln to G. B. Prentice in October, 1860. which said In part: YiewH Already Expressed. " "Your suggestion that 1 write a letter setting out my conservative views and Intentions is certainly worthy. But would it do any good? If I labored a month 1 could not ex press my conservative Ideas and In tentions more strongly, more clearly than has already been expressed In my speeches already printed and be fore the public. If what I bave al ready said has failed to convince you. no repetition would convince. I have bad men to deal with, both north and south, who are eager for some thing new upon which to base mis representation; men who would like to frighten me or at least to tlx upon me a reputation, for timidity and cowardice. They would seize upon almost anything I should write as being 'an awful coming down.' I intend keeping an eye upon thesw gentlemen, and will not unnecessarily put weapons Into their hands.' " To all' requests for a fuller ex planation of his object In giving out the Lincoln-Roosevelt parallel, the former President replied only with a smile, and the statement that, just now, he had "nothing further to say." Will Run "If Drafted." Definite statement that the former President Is in the rare will come, not from Roosevelt himself. but from the progressive leaders who up to now have supported Senator La Follette ot Wisconsin. These leaders held a series of con ferences here today, during which they were in constant communication wlih Colonel Roosevelt, and though Shoes Repaired ,t 1m1mI,.i..I..H-M-M-M--M-1 aitrs.3 tkr Hi i ' V "i v. .'Lun3 ir..n.

LADIES ENTERTAIN MALE HIKSTS AT I.KAI YEAR DANCE AT THE ARMORY, It seemed so queer to the less! deadly of the species to have to sit quietly by until he was Invited to dance or to accept the proferred es cort of a lady before he could even Walk across the flnnr In vet a olaua . ...

It was the ladles' night to entertain ,t the Leap Year ball at tne arnlory Wednesday and they established an iron-clad code of ethics for the oc- rasion that no tltntd male dared violate But the limitations of privilege drawn about the men were not un pleasant, far from it. The ladles certainly made the most of the Ini tiative opportunity that comes to theru but once every four years and showed the gentlemen what Is pro nounced by one of them as "one, grand old time." Whether the leap year matrimonial prerogative was exercised during the evening Is not reported, but every marriageable fel low who was fortunate euoiigh to be present on the happy occasion to day wears a broad smile to indicate that nothing transpired to upset his previous domestic calculations. If he bad any. The "boya" were made to feel per fectly at home, a la feminine. The room usually occupied by tho ladles for their toilet preparations was placed at the disposal ot the men together with unwiler. iieriiime manicuring articles and such other things generally used In well regit lated communities for the Improve- nient of physical beauty. Before the evening was over some of the bald heads got to feeling so ladylike that they frequently felt to ascertain If their hair was on straight. Nor did the ladles rorget the axiom that to reach a man'a heart Is to "feed the brute." After dancing until mid night, they whisked their partners down to the grill of the Hotel Mr Clallen. where Proprietor nnd Mrs. Grnnvold served one of their cus tomary splendid suppers. There were about seventy-five couples present, some of them mar ried, some of them wanting to he, others fearful lest thev might he. but all entering fully Into the spirit of the Joyous occasion.

The walls and the net that screened the orchestra werei banked by ferns and there were some little cozy corners where sweet noth ings are said to have been whispered In abatract moments.
