By WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Special Correspondence of the Herald. Copyright, 1919, by the New York
 Herald company. All rights reserved.)
 Constantinople, Saturday, March 29.-(Delayed. )-Meh- med Vahid Eddin, who, under the title of Mohammed VI, was crowned Sultan of Turkey last July, today broke his steadfast rule of silence and granted an interview to the Herald.
 While in the sultan's palace by him against the Young Turks Inst December was rapidly bearing fruit. A cabinet minister. who acted as in- terpreter for me. said that within the next 10 days certain members of the one-time Young Turk cabinet will be hanged.
 In his talk with me \. Sultan made it plain that he proposed to continue the war against the Young TuKs and to keep the fight in their camp. He la nented the fact that as result of the Tetltoeratic. dfctaturfal -nret l9eds--A Aef the Young Turks, many lovers Of safety and tolerance had been imprisoned, and even he himself, as a champion of safety, toll erance and justice, had been cruelty mis- represented by them. The Sultan indicated that he was determined to crush the evil influences of the men responsible for the actions of the union and previous party government and that all such men will be arrested and severely punished.
 The Sultan expressed high regard for President Wilson, whose help on behalf of Turkey he invoked.
 RECEIVED IN PALACE
 The Sultan received me in the Yildez Kiosk, overlooking the BospholusJ with palaces and noble gardens on either side. For an hour and half he talked. Speak ing earnestly, now looking me squarely in the eye, now gazing fixedly beyond. to the blue waters of tic narrow strait that connects Europe with Asia, the golden west with the mystic east.
 eve await the help of God and of your exalted President, who was
 the first to enuncIate great, new
 ideals of worldwide humanity.- he
 said.
 The Sultan asked me to convey to the world through The Age Herald his plea for a league of nations that will see to it that Turkey gets justice. He declared that his faith with regard to the future was firmly fixed on President Wilson's IA points.
 By tyranny we have been brought to our present plight, he continued. Tt is justice that we ask for suffering peo- pie If tliey are suppressed without trial. without investigation of true conditions. it would be injustice.
