To assist Gentlemen vvio seek Government Appointments , by supplying the earliest information on the subject of all vacancies , and to protect them from the frauds attempted by anonymous advertising agents . Although established more especially with a view to elevate the position and redress the grievances of the employe ' s of the Government , the CIVIL SERVICE GAZETTE will also advocate the interest of the officers of the Army and Navy , of the Military and Civil Departments of the Hon .
