[PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Wellington, December. 13,. The Premier cabled through to the Governor and Imperial authorities offering 1,000 men, the length of service 12 months or till the close of the war or if sooner, and asks fchab this contingent be amalgamated with the 6th and 7th and placed in one column. The Premier expresses his belief in his telegram that the additional men would not be required. If all the statesmen and parties in the United Kingdom had been gu ; de Iby love of eouhtry and patriotism there can be little doubt that the unguarded speeches and writings have encouraged the Botrs to go on with a hopeless struggle.
