The Japanese withdrew from Nanning at 8 p.m. on Monday. They set fire to rows of houses to cover│: their retreat. The big fires burned far into the night.

Irked by the impossibility of obtaining a sufficient amount nails, an undertaker in Kisennuma, Japan, advertised in a local paper requesting that "anyone Intending. to pass away, provide about half a pound of nails for their coffin."

The "Nichi Nichi" denies the alle- gations regarding the shortage of nails, and says the advertisement was only a joke. Havas.
