LONDON, Oct 27-The German raid of channel ports, as it is called here. seems to have been checked for the time being or any rate, the Germans have made li,ue if any progress since they succeeded in crossing the Yser canal Saturday. They are. however still pushing ahead with all forces at their com mand and meeting with most stub- born resistance from French, British and Belgian troops.
 Losses on both sides continue to
 be in proportion to the fierceness of the battle. which means they are greater than those of any other battle since the war was declared. now nearly three months ago Opposing forces are so strong that there must
 be many days before a decisive re-
 suit is attained on either side. des- | pite great losses which they are suf- | fering and which grow greater as re- port follows report.
 Along the coast where the allies | have the assistance of the French and British warshps, they apparent

 hicting heavy losses on the Germans
