where there is violation OF the
agreement the question of disciplin-
ary action and its character is, of
course, entirely a matter for the
Navy Department, and if the officer
be now separated from the service
for that cause no question will be
raised in the audit of accounts as to
otherwise proper payments of allow
ances to an ofncer with a lawful wife
from the date of marriage. However,
where the disciplinary action takes
the form of separation from the
service, either by relief from active
duty or discharge from the Naval
Reserve, because of the violation of
the agreement in this respect the
situation is different. Accordingly,
he said, an ensign of the Naval Re-
serve who breaks his agreement
and who is either relieved from active
duty or discharged from the Naval
Reserve because of such breach of
his agreement, should not be cred
tied with allowances as an officer
with lawful wife from the date of
marriage to the date Of his relief
from active duty or discharge from
the Naval Reserve.
