 PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2.-Incompe- tency and inefficiency on the part of civil servants is endangering the whole fabric of our government as well as all the precious ideals of public liberty and justice from war standpoint, ac- cording to Charles w. Eliot, president emiritus of Harvard University, who addressed the meeting of the civil ser vice reform league here tonight Mir, Eliot declared that it had been obvious for some time that democracy as a form of government is on trial before the civilized world.
 Can democracy be as efficient as modern autccracy in war;" he asked. Today no one can answer that ques- tion with confidence.
 If the free governments cannot or ganize and maintain as effective ar mics and navies as the autocratic gov ernments can, and fight as well as the autocratic governments do, they will not survive the attacks Of despotiC gov ernments which possess as great natu- ral resources as the free governments and use them with more skill and grea ter concentration of purpose. Such at tacks on free institutions must be eX- ] ljtCltC anu AION lueb cls7d4ilSI lbl II Alfl7 been demonstrated that there exists in Europe strong autocratic governments which are ambitious to rule not only their neighbors but the world
 In periods of peace, Dr. Eliot said democracy has not been as efficient in promoting the public welfare as has autocracy. Tt has been made plain by the great war in Europe, he said that industrial, financial and civil ef- ficiency are all necessary to military efficiency.
 If, then the free governments are to continue to live in Europe, or in Ihe world at large, they must prove them selves to be at least as effective as autOcratic government in developing | industrial, commercial, financial anC military efficiency
 Tn criticising what he termed the in efficiency in public service, Dr. Eliot called particular attention to the post office department. He declared that tC change all the high officials of that department once every four years, CT

TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1


 PARIS, Dec. ?. (IidnighD- Joffre has been appointed commander in chief of all the Morocco and depen- dent ministry colonies. President Pofncare signed the decree today. The appointment was made on the recommendation of Minister of War Gallienni who. in a report to President Poincare, said
 By the decree of October 2S, 1913, the government. charged with the vital interests of the country, alone has the right to deciGe on the military policy If the struggle extends to several from tiers it alone must decide which is the principal adversary against whom the majority of the forces shall be direct ed. It consequently alone controls the means of action and resources of all kinds and puts them at the disposal of the generals commanding in chief in the different theaters of operations.
 The experience gained, however, from the present operations. which are distributed over several fronts proves that unity of direction. indispensable to the conduct of the war can only be assured by the presence at the head of all of our armies of a single chief re- sponsihIe for the military operations proper.
 With that object in view, I submit to your high approval the decrees at tached."
 Two decrecs accompanied the report, one creating the post of commander in chief of the French armies, and the other appointing General Joffre, com

how he met the giant champion OF the
enemies of the Jews, and defeated him
with but weapons used in caring for
