BERLIN, June 17

An allegation that Hon. W. Churchill, Mr A. Eden, and Others will'lead an English faction ■ desiring war with GeJmnny. Was made by the London correspondent of the "Deutsche Allgemriue Zeitung.” He I ‘assorts a change that occurred in British opinion after the absorption of Austria is greatly strengthening the anti-German quarters.

Mr Chamberlain, Lord Halifax, and also some members of the Left Wing miequivocahly desire peace, hut the Government camp includes a war faction.

Hon. W. Churchill's influence may he small, but Mr Eden’s is growing, because of the delay of the AngloItalian agreement, and the continuation of the Spanish war and the Czechoslovakian incident.

Iho war faction also finds support in the city besides high officialdom within the Government. It is no longer sufficient for .Air Chamberlain, Sir John Simon, and Sir S. Hon re to repudiate the inevitability of the war thesis, when private conversation among highly-placed officials declare tiie opposite.
