were registered when at school, but here's the problems with
that.... I checked the historic newspapers and from what I
could tell, it appears if you were between 21 and 31 years
of age as of June 5, 1917, you were required to register on
that date in your place of primary residence (at the same
place you voted). If you were sick or absent from your
"permanent home" you could either register by mail or by
going to the city clerk (cities over 30,000) people or
county clerk to register. I don't know how you would know in
advance you were going to be sick though (unless it was
disease). </span></div>

of people who were registered in two places, where they were
to report to whichever one they received the call from
first. So maybe in the initial confusion, they registered at
school AND at home, and were picked to muster up from
Eugene? I guess if we looked at the actual registration
cards for some of these out-of-area people we might be able
to tell by the name of the clerk (if present) or by the
number on the card. I would think for example that if
someone from a smaller town had a number higher than 10% of
the population of that place, that they must have registered
out of the area.<br>
