A GROTESQUE SIDESHOW.

"LEAGE OF OPPRESSED NATIONS OF THE EAST." (United Service). 'Received May 15, 8.50 a.m. LONDON, May 13. j The Evening News' Genoa correspondent says that a grotesque conference j sideshow is the motly array of envoys, grandiloquently self-styled the League j of Oppressed Nations of the East, com-j pris:'ng Anatolians, Egyptians, Poles-! tiuians, Syrians, Mesbpotamians, Persians, Bokharans, and Indians, in intervals conspiring with and against each other. They flock to the largest and most dubious dance resort in Genoa. The notorious Enva Pasha is the prime investigator of this gathering, whose declared aim is to examine Oriental problems with reference to Europe. His ; spokesmen are Bekir Sanui, whom the < Ango Government expelled, also General Hakki Pasha. Mustapha himself sent a delegate, Dieldallahin, from Angeva, but he does not speak to Bekir or Hakki. The first formal act of the conference was to send a note to the President of the Genoa Conference protesting against the British control of the Suez Canal and the Soudan. The note was naturally , ignored.
