ANOTHER ALLIANCE.
THE LEAGUE OF AMERICAN
 WHEELMEN
Completes its System of Representation in Europe by an Alliance With tho Deutscher Rndfnhrer Bund.

Over one thousand members of the League of American Wheelmen have availed themselves of the advantages derived by the organization from the alliance with the Cyclists Touring club of England, this year. Under this alli- ance members of the League of Ameri- can Wheelmen touring in Europe are entitled to the accommodations of mem bers of the Cyclists Touring club, which consist of the usual advantages of be- ing smenlber of a national cycling or ganization. In this case, however. the Cyclists Touring club has arrange ments which give it the aspect of an in- ternational association, it's system of representation, etc, extending into con- tinental countries. The exposition at Paris is, of course, the attraction which has caused so many of the League of American Wheelmen members to use the Cyclists Touring club privileges this year.
 There has been one deficiency in the League of American Wheelmen's for eign connections, however. Germany was not included. That has now been remedied by an alliance with the Deut- scher Radfahrer Bund, the German or ganization which fosters touring and other cycling pastimes The new alli- ance has been consummated on the part of the League of American Wheelmen by George M. Schell chairman of the touring committee. It gives the League of American Wheelmen complete repre- sentation in Europe. The agreement between the organizations is as follows:
 In order to procure for the members of the League of American Wheelmen touring in Germany and for the mem- bers of the Deutscher Radfahrer Bund touring in the United States the same benefits and privileges which they re- spectively enjoy in their own countries the following agreement between the two organizations was entered into:
 Between the League of American Wheelmen and the Deutscher Radfah- Ter Bund an exchange of specially num- bered blank membership cards is agreed upon. said cards to bear the seal of the organization issuing them. and to be is- sued on demand for the use of members of one organization touring in the coun- try of the other.
 The presentation of these cards enti-
  and benefits regarding hotel and repair rates, etc., as well as to calls on the services of chief consuls and local con- suls, which the members of either of these allied organizations enjoy in their own country.
 Common road books, maps, time ta- bles handbooks and similar printed matter issued by either of the allied or ganizations for the benefit of tourists may be obtained on demand by mem- bers of the other, upon payment of the proper price. If these articles are given by either organization to it's members gratis, then a nominal price (the lowest possible) is to be fixed for members of the other: but when these publications | must be paid Dor by members of the home organizations, tourists belonging | to the foreign body may obtain them at | the same price.
 A department of publications for each 1 of the allied organiZa tions is not to be 1 established because of the manifold | difficulties and heavy expenses arising | from the printing of new editions etc. | This agreement has no relation to the exchange of the journals published by ] the respective organizations.
