Germans and Guns at Battle West of Vitry Le Francois

Reports say German bombardment south of a fortress gave way to French victory notes. General von Kluck advanced toward Paris then withdrew northward under pressure from British and French forces on the Marne. French hills north of Sezanus changed hands as Pau’s artillery dominated the valley. German losses and booty are disputed as Allied reports claim hundreds of prisoners and seized guns while German dispatches show a telegraphic error downplaying defeats. Belgians harass German reinforcements as Germany shifts troops to the frontier or Western Front.
