[or-roots] WWI Registration Card Question

[George Ross]

This isn't an Oregon related question, specifically, but thought someone might be able to help. 

I just located my grandfather's WWI registration card.  
  a.. Item line #4   (1) Are you a natural born citizen (2) a naturalized citizen  (3) an alien  (4) or have you declared your intention (specify which),  and my grandfather writes: alien.

However, 
  a.. Item line #5   Where were you born?  My grandfather writes:   Bronson  Kans  USA 
And
  a.. Item line #6 If not a citizen, of what country are you a citizen or subject? My grandfather writes:  Great Briton (sic)

My question, is there any particular reason that he would write "alien"....and "citizen or subject of Great Briton"  yet state that he was born in Kansas?

I do have another record that states his parent were both born in Ohio.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!!!

Julie
