WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Chief Examiner
Server, of the Civil-service Commission, in
his annual report says applications for ex-
aminations of all kinds during the year ag-
gregated 1913. He says temporary appoint
ments should not be made for regular posi-
tions where it is possible to avoid them and
that the commission has under consideration
a plan to best meet the demands for eligi-
bes with exceptional and extraordinary
qualifications. This contemplates the estan-
lishment of series of examinations, en-
different lines of work as possible and that
eligibility should be advanced step by step
from lower to higher registers as fast as
the applicant can qualify.

Sir William Vernon-Harcourt's resignation
as Liberal leader in the House of Commons
is an important event in British politics,
and all the more because he resigns in dis

get together under him they will hardly be
able to do so for some time under any
leader. However, in England. as in this
