7. City quiet today. Some firing during the night as Japanese cleared out some remnants of Paoantui or other hostile Chinese from the Chinese city. Japanese yesterday afternoon completed destruction of Nankai University by artillery fire, air bombing and burning, and bombarded several buildings in the Chinese City, particularly Nankai middle school and girls school.
