Answer:

Selective Service Act passed on May 18, 1917, giving the U.S. president the power to draft soldiers.

The reason for the Selective Service Act, though, was that American men had not volunteered all together or certainly not in the numbers needed to raise, train, and deploy an army quickly after the United States declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917.
