Draft registration set for men 18 to 46 in the United States
President Wilson signed the man power bill and issued a proclamation calling all men between 18 and 46 to register on September 12. Registration hours run 7 am to 4 pm local time at designated boards, with provisions for tardy or mail enrollment and special rules for those abroad or without fixed residence. The plan aims to mobilize at least 15 million men for war service, with 18 year olds placed in a separate educational track until others are exhausted.
