ART. LXV] MILITIA. 497
State, but service therein shall not constitute an exemption of any kind
from service or liability to service in the National Guard of the State
or in the military or naval forces of the United States, but all members
of the Maryland State Guard shall be liable to such service to the same
extent as if they were not members of said Maryland State Guard.
1917, ch. 26, sec. 92.
90. The Governor, from time to time, by executive order, shall make
regulations for the number of said Maryland State Guard, the age limits
for the members thereof, the manner, form and time of enlistment
therein, and discharge therefrom, and for the organization, physical
requirements and examinations, training, officering, government, num-
ber and strength of units, maintenance, armament, equipment and am-
munition of the said Guard. The Governor may admit existing organ-
izations or units to membership in the Maryland State Guard. The
title to all uniforms, armament, ammunition and equipment of every
kind shall be and remain in the State.
1917, ch. 26, sec. 93.
91. The Governor shall call the Maryland State Guard, or any por-
tion thereof, into active service whenever and as often as and for such
period of time or times as, in his judgment, the public interests and
safety require, and he shall assign the said Guard, or any unit or units
or members thereof, to such duties and at such place or places within
this State as he, in his judgment, deems proper. When so called into
active service the Maryland State Guard shall have and exercise within
this State all powers necessary or appropriate to preserve peace and to
guard and protect the rights of persons and property, and to this end
they may, when in active service, exercise all such military powers and
may do all such acts and things as the National Guard of the State
may exercise or do when called into active service.
1917, ch. 26, sec. 94.
92. The officers of the Maryland State Guard shall be appointed by
the Governor, upon the recommendation of the Adjutant-General, and,
upon like recommendation, the Governor shall remove, promote or
reduce such officers. Such officers shall have and exercise over their
several commands the same military authority as that specified for the
duly chosen officers of the National Guard under the laws of this
State. The Governor shall have the power to order any officer on the
Eetired or Unassigned List of the National Guard into service in the
Maryland State Guard, and may grant to the said Maryland State
Guard the use of any and all armories owned or leased by the State, to
the extent that such use may not, in his judgment, be inconsistent with
the needs of the National Guard. The Governor, if he deems advisable,
may order the Adjutant-General to assume command of the Maryland
State Guard, when said Guard, or any part thereof, is in active service.
