 WASHINGTON, Jan. 31-Licensing regulations as applied to bakers were extended by President Wilson in a proclamation tonight to take in hotels. restaurants and clubs which do their own baking, to include thousands of small bakers heretofore exempt, and to cover the manufacture of bread of every kind, including cake. crackers biscuits, pastry and other bakery pro- ducts.
 At the same time the president put under license all importers and dis tributors of green coffee to prevent speculative prices in the coffee market. All licenses must be obtained by February 4 when the new regulations become effective.
 Bankers already under license are those who use not less than 10 barrels of flour a month. Hereafter the limit will be placed at three barrels.
 A new set of baking regulations, is sued by the food administration to ac company the proclamation. limits the amount of flour bakers may purchase makes changes in the quantity of in- gredients other than flour used in the manufacture and prescribes other changes in bakers practices.
 Bakers of bread and rolls will be limited in their wheat flour purchases to eighty per cent of their require ments up to July 31 and bakers of other products, including crackers, bis cults. cookies, cakes, pies, fried cakes, pastry and sweet yeast doughs, to 70 per cent for the same period.
 What Bakers May Do
 After February bakers of breads and rolls must use five per cent of wheat flour substitutes and the amount must be increased until they are using 70 per cent February "A. Bakers of other products are not required to use substitutes but are urged to do so.
 An increase in the amount of sugar permitted in bread manufacture is all lowed and the present bread formula is changed to permit the use of milk in any form and quantity, provided that bread containing milk is not sold at a higher price than that containing none. Bakers are urged not to increase their consumption of cane and beet sugars. Bakers of bread and rolls are per mitted to apply the name Victory bread to their products when it contains a 20 per cent substitution for wheat flour and bakers of other products may use the name when one-third of their con- nent consists of wheat flour substi-
  tutes.
 Victory bread and other victory pro- ducts may be sold on wheatless days but the suggestion is made that bakers will find it to their advantage to de- Velop special breads containing high CT percentage of substitution for sale Cn these days.
 Substitution Is Urged
 A statement given out with the new regulations point out that the admin istration will impose no restrictions on the amount of wheat flour substitutes baker may use and all bakers are urged to employ as much substitution as possible"
 Bakers of products other than bread and rolls, although their purchases of wheat flour will be reduced to 80 per cent of their requirements, will not be required to cut their sales and food administration officials look for them 10 keep their output up to normal by 8 use of the substitute Hours.
 The list of wheat flour substitutes that may be used by bakers. as listed in the new regulations are bran, shorts and middling, corn flour, corn meal edible corn starch. hominy, corn grits barley flour, rolled oats, oat meal, rice flour, buckwheat flour, potato flour
