Light and the Chicago Daily News.
Berlin Germany April 21.—The
Stinnes .super-trust in Germany—the
Siemcns-Rbine-Elbc-Schuckcrt com-
pany—does not represent Stinnes'
fortune. It is only the co.v which
provides the milk. How much of the
Sicmens-Uhine-Elbe-Schuckert con-
cern he owns it is impossible to telb
This "konzern” is a grouping of hun-
dreds of undertakings tn some of
these Stinnea owns part or ali of tin
stock; others he controls by virtue
of trade agreements sometimes at
second or third hand. But all bring
him directly or indirectly large prof-
its which be invests either in extend
ing his trust or in new private enter-
prises. In the last year lie has been
specially active in extending his in-
terests abroad. He has begun to in-
vade the world.
In Rotterdam the Hugo Stinnes
Handels and Transport Geasellsebaft
direefed by Stinnes' only brother
takes care of the foreign marketing of
a large portion of the Stinnes prod-
ucts. It is tbe Stinnes custom to con-
solidate buying and selling even of
the most varied kinds of merchandise.
Tbe Rotterdam branch may be ex-
pected to assume enormous importance
in the coming years lying as it does
at tbe mouth of the Rhine the outlet
of tbe Ruhr. It already has an of-
fice in New York. Tbe Rotterdam-
sche bank in Rotterdam is the chief
depot for Stinnes' funds in Holland
and is said to be entirely controlled
by him.
Invading the Balkans.
During the war Stinnes once re-
marked that if he were chancellor be
would name only one peace condition
—the abolition of the customs barrier
between France and Germany. It had
long been Lis aim to amalgamate
German coal -and French iron into a
single production system. At times
since the armistice he has made ad
vances first to the English and then
to the French. Not getting what he
wanted he lias turned to the east —
down the Balkan corridor where Ger-
man diplomacy and business have
been at work ever since the days of
Vismarck.
A tew months ago one Camillo
Castiglioni became active on the Ber-
lin stock market. Tbe newspaper.!
protested that foreign speculators like
him were unwelcome. Then one day
he appeared as a director in Stinnes'
konzern. The papers quickly drop-
ped the subject. Stinnes had begun
uis invasion of tbe Balkans.
This Castiglioni. who . enabled
Stinnes to get the Syrian iron mines
is a character such as only the war
and the post-war chaos could produce.
The son of a rabbi in Trieste he was
an unimportant automobile dealer in
Vienna before the war. Supplying mo-
tor truck)! to the government made
him rich. He became a great figure
in Viennese business.
With the treaty of peace he became
an Italian citizen a status which
gave him privileges he would never
have bad as an Austrian. He bc-
ctime one of the leading figures in
the Italian Fiat factories. He specu-
lated wildly in Vienna. He bet on
the fall of the Austrian crown and
his winnings weie the basis for his
present fortune. In the steel chemi-
cal. electro-technic nnd paper indus-
tries he came to bate a position simi-
lar to that of Stinnes in Gn-many.
In the succession states surrounding
Austria be purhased factories stores
land and forests. *
After the Near East Markets.
The virtual amalgamation of his
konzern with that of Stinnes has just
been completed with the founding of
the “Indus-Trust for Supplying Big
Industry” in Vienna. This concern
has a capital of 100.000.000 crowns —
a matter of about $2OOO. No mat-
ter. It nas the combined fortunes
’of Stinnes and Castiglioni behind it
It is in fact the nucleus of a great

With the British-Hungerian bank
in Budapest Siinnes has recently
made a close agreement whereby he
will supply and virtually manage the
industries dependent on it. With two
of the foremost Hungarian industrial-
ists. Dr. von Langenhan and Count
Palffy-Daun he has been negotiating
-for coal mines.
In Bulilarest Stinnes has estab-
lished a large selling organization. In
Sofia the Feher bank has come under
his influence and has organized de-
pots for Stinnes goods in Constanti-
nople and Smyrna. In Belgrade
Stinnes has been in negotiation with
mining interests.
Through nn amazing juggling of
shares the Sichcl concern has recent-
ly become in effect a holding company
for Stinnes chiefly for German soft
coal and Luxemburg iron with head-
quarters in Zurich.
Likes South America Not Russia.
Stinnes' chief activity outside Eu-
rope has been in ))outh America.
From Argentina he bas obtained a
monopoly for the export of meat to
Germany. In tbe Minas Geraes dis-
trict of Brazil he has acquiird rich
iron mines where b* intends to erect
factories to be connected with the
coast by his own railroad.
In Russia Stinnes has shown little
interest but he is known to have ac-
quired a concession for the Kissilev-
sky gold fields near Habnrorsk in Si-
beria whence doubtless he will draw
the gold reserve for the money he
has been so prodigally printing.
The mere control of these myriad
properties does not necessarily show
that Stinnes is making money. But
that he is making it is shown by ap-
parently endless quantities of ready
cnsb. He recently made a loan to
the city of Geneva. Switzerland).
How he makes it is another story.
