Summary Trom the correspondance of Frano Šupilo The correspondance of the Croat politician Frano Supilo, covering the period of the First World War, has begun to be published for the first time in this review. It comes from the Archives of the Yugoslav Committee, now kept at the historical Institute of the Yugoslav Academy of Science and Art in Zagreb. Only letters of some historical interest and unpublished so far have been earmarked for publication. The present issue covers the period between September 1914, when Supilo and other Croat political émigrés began to call on Ambassadors of the Triple Entente in Rome, and December 1914, when Supilo went to London in order to come into touch with British statesmen. This material contributes new information on the activities of the Yugoslav political émigrés from Austria-Hungary in the Entente countries during the First World War, and throws more light on Italo-Yugoslav relations, as well as on the attitude of the Entente in the Yugoslav question. It is therefore of some interest not only for the new Yugoslav historiography, but also for all those who are studying the problem of nationalities in the course of the First World War. Supilo' s correspondance is published now to commemorate the 40th anniversary of his death in September 1917.
