  1. Nicolae Filipescu (1862-1916), statesman and Romanian political writer, former deputy, former minister. He founded the National Action league, which led the way for Romanian intervention in the war on the side of the Allies. In the Figaro article which Proust was able to read on 4 January 1916 ("La Roumanie", p. 2), he is mentioned, along with Take Jonescu [sic], as being among the political leaders in favour of their entry into the war. See also his obituary in the announcements of death in Le Figaro, 16 October 1916 ("Mort de M. Filipesco" [Death of Filipescu], p. 1). [PK, FP, FL]
