Answer:

The Selective Service Act of 1917 authorized the government to raise an army for entry into WWI through a draft that drew them into conscripted military service. ... The draft had a high success rate due to the spirit of patriotism during World War I, with fewer than 350,000 men dodging conscription.

hope it helps:)
