 In the arrondissements where the martial law is in operation, the military authorities have the same powers as the civilian authorities in regard to the policing or for the maintenance of order. The civilian authorities must assist in the military service as required by the military.

The powers of the military courts in the communes where the martial law is in operation must be governed by the military penal laws and ordinances in every respect.

However, the civilian courts continue to have the powers to try and adjudicate upon the penal cases which have been pending before them since before the operation of the martial law and the military courts continue to have the powers to try and adjudicate upon the penal cases which are pending before them at the time of the lifting of the martial law.

When the martial law is in operation in any commune, the military authorities have the power to do those which are to be stated hereafter:

they have the power to enter and search any places at any time;

they have the power to eject anyone without fixed domicile in that commune;

they have the power to direct people in that commune to send weapons and ammunition in their possession to military officers, and have the power to search for and capture weapons, and ammunition, and forbidden articles of warfare.
