CHICAGO, Sep. 7. Prolonged applause greeted William J.

Bryan during his ad dress before the national convention of the Friends of Peace, yesterday, when he said: "I want you to be thankful that this country's President loves peace and trying, with every means at his dispo sal, to preserve our country's peace." ShorUy before the delegates had cheered Congressman Henry Volmer of Iowa while he attacked the adminis tration for permitting shipments of war munitions from America to Europe. Before adjourning, the convention in structed its officers to make known to President Wilson and Congress the purposes of the Friends of Peace as em bodied in resolutions adopted at the morning session. The resolutions, which were styled "a new declaration of Independence," made no formal demand for an embargo on munitions of war, but declared for the freedom of the seas to all commerce. including that with all belligerent na tions, and opposed manufacture of death-dealing Implements for profit. The officers also were Instructed to draw up bills embodying these princi ples for presentation to the next Congress.

The best applause-provoking incident of the convention took place at the aft ernoon session, when Jeremiah A. O'Leary of New Tork, one of the speak ers, called the Rev. G. C. Berkemelr, German-American delegate, and the Kev.

J. H. S. Somerville, an Anglo-American delegate, to the speakers' Btand and requested them to clasp hands as a visible refutation of charges that the convention was a pro-German gathering. The Rev.

Mr. Berkemelr, a Lutheran minister, clasped the Rev. Mr. Somerville, an Episcopalian rector, in his arms and kissed him on both cheeks, while the audience burst Into frantic applause. Bryan confined his address to a dis cussion of the ethics of warfare, the necessity, as he described it, of the United States keeping out of the present trouble, and of the duties of citizens in doing all In their power not to endanger the country's peace.
