WARN AGAINST ACCEPTING GERMAN ASSURANCES

UNDATED, March 2 (P) - In Instanbul, inspired Turkish news papers warned the nation strong ly against accepting German as- suranceS and declared the spread of the war to the Balkans seem ed inevitable.
 Reports that Britain was rush ing equipment to Turkey seemed to indicate that Turkey was re- solved to fight if Germany moves on the Dardanelles.
 Balkan observers spotted 50 German tanks poised almost with sight of the Turkish frontier. The initial German onslaught, how ever, if it comes, is expected to strike at Greece's Struma River valley in Macedonia, the 60 mile corridor leading to the Sea of Salonika.
 Dispatches from Sofia said that General PapagoS, commander of the Greek army has apparently intended to abandon Thrace as indefensible. These dispatches re ported the Greek were already clearing civilians out of Thrace, the northeast province along the Turkish border with Bulgaria, long coveted as an outlet to the Aegan Sea. If the Greeks elect to fight at the Struma, abandon ing Thrace, they will have only a 25 mile wide front to defend along the Bulgarian frontier.
 Yugoslavia's role in the crisis has remained a mystery, but au thoritative quarters at Belgrade said Regent Prince Paul confer red with Hitler Monday at Der chtesgaden and heard that a state ment reiterating Yugoslavia's neutrality might be expected within a few hours.
