ALL EXPORTS TO
BE UNDER LICENSE

Washington, Feb. 16-By a new
proclamation yesterday President Will
son placed all exports to all countries
under license by the war trade board
after tomorrow.
The proclamation also applies the
license system to all imports and

cense system of the war trade board.
1t is one of the steps of reducing
ocean carriage of non-essentials to
release ships for transportation of
troops and war materials.

road by which Kerensky had made
his escape.
With fury they threw themselves on
the handful of Cossacks who held the
approach to this road, and desperate
fighting ensued.
Faithful Cossacks' Stand
The revolutionary hordes flung
themselves on the faithful Cossacks
again and again, but the latter budged
not an inch. They suffered terribly for
their devotion to their master, but
they were fine fellows, and nothing
seemed to disturb them.
At last they were reduced to about
20 in number, and were without am
munition. They were also dismount-
ed.
Sword in hand they stood to await
the end, which was no fast approach
ing. A great mass of the revolutionists
rushed on them. For a few minutes
there was an exciting sWaying to and
fro, and then the mass of rebels pass
ed on over the road by which Keren-
sky had escaped. They passed over
the dead bodies of the men who had
held the ground until to hold it longer
was physical impossibility.
From the shelter of the hospital we
watched what there was to be seen OF
the fighting in the streets.
