Most writers prefer to add apostrophe s. Some prefer to add only an apostrophe, especially if the pronunciation of an extra "s" would sound awkward, often with names of Biblical or historical significance (Achilles' heel, Jesus' miracles, Demosthenes' speeches). Whether or not an "s" is added often depends on how the word is pronounced.
